Verdict

PRIMO'S COMET has been a regular winner here down the years and has been running well on the all-weather off similar marks recently. He was well beaten in this last season, behind stablemate Rory, but was making his seasonal reappearance on that occasion and can reverse last month’s Southwell form with Bert Kibbler. Ey Up It's Maggie is penalised for winning a lesser contest at Doncaster last Sunday but is another with fitness on her side and Billy Loughnane takes off 5lb. Paul Midgley holds a strong hand with Leodis Dream and Vadamiah and Havagomecca also ended last season with a victory. Lady Lade could also play a part.
