It was a most encouraging performance from PLOUGH BOY at Fairyhouse last time, when he put a disappointing return from an absence behind him to finish fourth in a race where he really should have gone closer given how he performed. Add to that his series of solid efforts on the all-weather over the winter (he's only 4lb higher than when winning at Dundalk in November), and it seems he has the potential to be spot on for this race. He'll have to be, as it's a competitive enough affair, where last time out 7f winner The Mcgregornator and the unexposed Silverkode are also of interest.
