In depth
Verdict
Majorca, Primus Inter Pares and Hunting Lodge are the principles here and we will give Primus Inter Pares the nomination. The selection won well last time out when defeating Hello It's Me at Haydock. He is sure to come on for the run but he has a 5lb penalty for that success and it is interesting to note that he has since left James Fanshawe's yard to join David Nicholls. Majorca rates the main danger on his latest win over Kibryaa at Newcastle, but that was on soft ground and although he has won on a faster surface he will need to improve to win off this mark on ground as fast as this. Hunting Lodge is from a shrewd yard and he would have a chance on his best form but he might just need the run after a 300 day absence from the track. Mister Monet is another that has a long absence to overcome and he is one of the least exposed in the field. He is also making his handicap bow so is worth noting in the market. However, Primus Inter Pares is sure to improve for his first run of the season and he is taken to score.
