Primondo is given the nod here ahead of Master Nimbus and Comical errors. James Fanshawe's colt probably didn't act on the all-weather last time but had previously run a blinder when just pipped at Haydock. This contest doesn't look any harder and a big run can be expected. Master Nimbus improved on his seasonal debut effort to chase home Thornaby Green at Newcastle. With more progression likely he should play a major role. Comical Errors returned from a spell over the jumps with a good effort at Catterick last month. He looks on a decent mark on the pick of his past flat form and could reward each-way support. Top-weight Jumeirah Scarer is another to consider for the places, but we return to Primondo as our choice for the winner.
