In depth

Verdict

PRIMO’S COMET finished in front of Royal Brave when beaten a length over the minimum trip at Newcastle and is taken to end a long losing run on Turf having won off a higher mark here in 2018. Nibras Again finished closer at Thirsk last time without threatening and will take advantage of a tumble down the weights before long while Antagonize is another on the slide and races over today’s distance for the first time. Red Stripes is best on the Fibresand at Southwell.
