Verdict

There was lots to like about the British debut of formerly classy French import PRIMERO last month particularly given he had been off for quite some time beforehand and would probably have found the trip on the sharp side. He will be fitter here, has a more suitable trip and is 2lb lower so all things point to a bold effort. Ming Dynasty was below par in his last two runs but it's difficult to ignore his 2015 form and if Marco Botti can revive him he could well prove to be thrown in here. Hajaam has made rapid progress this term and could have choked latest when flopping in search of a five-timer so a tongue-tie could get him back on track.
  1. Primero
  2. Ming Dynasty
  3. Hajaam
