Verdict
Primrose Time steps back up in trip after her win at Kelso last month and has a 9lb rise in the weights to contend with, while Ockey Ne Neulliac tries his hand over fences again after landing a couple of hurdles in plating company in November. Et Maintenant posted a much better effort behind Bene Lad here last time when ALEXANDER OATS failed to complete. The latter was already struggling before being pulled-up after his saddle slipped, but that was his first outing since March and a chance is taken that Robert Goldie's C&D winner is back to his best today. Banoge is creeping up the weights without winning, but the veteran Something Silver is back on a winning mark and could make the frame.
