Verdict
Another poor event in which few can boast solid recent form and marginal preference is for Primo Dawn. Nick Littmoden's charge notched a narrow win in similar grade over 7f at Southwell in July and was having his first start for almost six months when failing to stay a mile at Lingfield earlier this month. However, the son of Primo Dominie hinted at a return to form last time and looks sure to go well on these favourable terms. Bulawayo laded a 7f handicap here by an impressive seven lengths in June but has struggled since including in selling grade and looks worth opposing once again while Carols Choice, along with Double Brew, have place claims on their best form but still have plenty to find with the selection at the weights.
