There was a lot to like about the way PRIMO LARA came clear at York last time and he's selected to defy another rise in the weights. The draw could have been kinder to Hand of God but it looks like he's been saved for this since his Esher Cup success so he's still second choice ahead of Palace Green and Approval.
