PRIMO has won two of his last three attempts at this course and distance. He was upped a grade last time but Roger Fell’s charge gets another chance back at this lowly level. Brandy Station won here in September while Captain Corcoran beat The Tron over track and trip in October. The former pair both finished well behind Lucky Beggar over the minimum distance at Nottingham subsequently though the latter remains without a win on the all-weather despite 16 previous attempts.
