In depth
Verdict
PRIMO LARA finished a close-up fourth at Yarmouth on last month’s debut behind a couple of subsequent winners. That’s much stronger form than Sharona’s moderate efforts so far and the former should be winning this if handling the testing going. Loved By You is related to three winners and could go well.
