A winner at Lingfield earlier in the month, Dancing Primo went close again at Haydock last time and has won for today's amateur before. Comedy House has done all his winning on the all-weather so far but SNOW CONDITIONS scored over course and distance last term off a similar mark. Philip Hide's charge gets the nod to come good again in this. Dark Diamond and Asknotwhat are looking to exploit a slide down the weights and Ballyheigue won for today's rider at Musselburgh last year.
