11/1

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (5f) 41 days ago. Hasn't been firing this season, and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Primo (9/4), The Tron (3/1), Amasova (7/1), Captain Corcoran (9/1), Thrilla In Manila (11/1), Brandy Station (12/1), Dapper Man (12/1), Enchanted Night (14/1), Arkid (18/1), Baileys Bling (20/1), Another Angel (25/1), Lucky Beggar (28/1), Littlemissattitude (66/1)

PRIMO wasn't on his game last time but that was a much stronger race than this and he had been successful on his previous two visits to the track, so he's fancied to resume winning ways in quite a thin race. The Tron usually runs his race over this C&D, so he's feared most, while the selection's stablemate Dapper Man isn't completely dismissed.
