Primroseandblue, a winning bumper and successful three times over hurdles, is making his chasing debut at a more advanced age than most but has huge potential and is likely to be a warm order. However, with his yard in such good form and experience on his side, RAAJIH could upset the plans. He's shown steady progress over fences and there was plenty to like about his third to Golden Wonder at Galway so he gets the verdict. Miranour won two minor races over hurdles but was tailed off on his chasing debut so chasing debutant Sizing Machine, who found fast ground against him at Kilarney last time after several excellent runs, looks more of a threat.
