Verdict
TOGOVILLE (NAP) won here a fortnight ago, his fourth success since the summer, and though 7lb higher he's expected to continue in the winning groove. Equation Of Time ran quite well at the same fixture when third to Tennessee Wildcat with The Islander, who has been in very poor form since his sole success at Cork in April, well beaten. Have A Nice Day is regarded as a 7f specialist and his last eight starts have been over that trip though he hasn't been finding much when it matters. He wasn't far behind Fastidious a week ago and has the beating of Artistic Integrity on that run. Oddysey won five times for Michael Dods in the UK and is one to keep an eye on as he makes his debut for new connections.
