Verdict
Matthew Bowes is well worth his claim and was on board when Uncommited gained a surprise victory at Downpatrick. However, he's back on his regular mount Garamor Boy here and is unlikely to galvanise the six-year-old to success as he's still a maiden after 28 starts. Uncommited would have an obvious chance if repeating the form shown for her victory but she's none too consistent and has an 8lb rise to cope with. This trip will take some getting and DO YOU FOLLOW ME will relish every yard. Tom Cooper's charge has only had three runs since returning from a two-year break and showed with a cracking run behind Super Daisy at Limerick that his turn has arrived. Van Lone was making his handicap debut when producing a fair run behind Chairmanforlife at Thurles last week and is another on the short-list in a wide-open contest.
