Primo Uomo generally goes well after a break, as he did when landing a similar handicap a year ago when Oneoveryou was fourth. The winner followed up on Turf a few weeks later but hasn't been seen since a Listed race at the Curragh in May. The latter has been in good form all winter though has changed stables so this can go to PLOUGH BOY. He's been gradually getting his act together and though up 4lb for last month's victory he looked to have a bit in hand and Wayne Lordan takes over from an apprentice. Pat Smullen gets on well with Togoville and though the combination were well beaten when runner-up last time it was a better race than this and Captain Dion looks held on that run.
