In depth
Verdict
Primo's Comet is a regular here but has become hard to place. Ecclesiastical followed up a win at Ripon with another at Chester on Friday but has to shoulder a further 5lb penalty with Cinque Verde carrying 6lb extra for winning on Tapeta at Wolverhampton. Nothing went right for MERESIDE ANGEL at Thirsk last time and, though a pound higher here, he must be given another chance to build on his victory at Ayr. Glory Hallelujah looks best of the rest.
