Verdict
Zabeel Tower and El Dececy both come here chasing hat-tricks however both are going up the weights and both may prefer quicker ground so we will turn to Primo Way to land the spoils. Last seen over hurdles in April, Linda Perratt's gelding seemed to be totally out of love with the game. At the end of last season however he was in fair form on the flat, culminating in a win over this course and distance. He handles this ground and should be a fair price for victory. Hawkit is consistent and should be far away, comments that also apply to Darfour. Chin Wag looks the pick of Jim Goldie's runners and he only found one too good last time; the slight drop in trip may well see him winning today. Seyaadi needs to bounce back from an average recent run, whilst Feisty Royal gets some weight as a three-year-old. A tricky handicap, but the vote goes to Primo Way.
