The two to concentrate on here are Primaeval and MUNDANA. The former was a shade disappointing behind Red Gulch at Kempton last time as he'd beaten the same rival easily on his previous start. That form is still strong enough to land this, but Luca Cumani's filly may prove too good. The latter showed a good attitude to hold off the runner-up on her handicap debut at Yarmouth and there's no reason why she shouldn't have further improvement in her. Classic Colori and Vainglory have been running well without actually winning and they make more appeal then the remainder who are struggling to find their best form at present.
