RED PRIMO ran green on debut over course and distance but still won with a bit in hand. That wasn't a great race and the second has already been beaten since but he only has one serious rival in this and should double his tally. Under Approval won a maiden auction over 5f here in December but has been beaten six times since and is no world-beater. The others will struggle to make an impact this year.
