Primoz

10st 2lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Exploited a reduced mark to win easily in a small field at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and he's also effective on good/good to soft ground; his yard has done very well over these fences but from out of the handicap he's running off a mark 12lb higher than last time, and needs a career best.

Yet to win this season but put two below-par runs behind him when third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; also suited by soft) a fortnight ago and remains on a good mark; one to consider.

Two wins in small-field chases last season and ran creditably on his first two outings this term; those, however, have been followed by two heavy defeats; well handicapped were he to revive but he's not proven beyond 2m1f.

Hasn't got competitive this term and beaten 18l when sixth of eight on stable debut at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in February; however, he shaped as though this step up in trip might be a good move and his three wins, including two over fences last January (2m, soft), have all come at Ayr.

Made fine start to chasing career last term, winning twice at Ayr (2m, soft); won on good to soft over hurdles; faced tough task on reappearance in November but well beaten in C&D handicap (soft) subsequently on final run for Nick Alexander; can be in the mix on stable debut if rediscovering last season's promise; remains in same ownership.

Won four-runner race by 19l at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) in February and showed better form when second in competitive races on final two starts last season (2m, good to soft/good); could still be on a good mark after latest 2lb nudge; must be considered.

Can be hit and miss in the jumping department but his profile over fences is generally progressive and he backed up February's Sedgefield romp with good second in fairly valuable series final at Carlisle (also 2m, good to soft) one month ago; respected.

One of the success stories of the season, improving dramatically for new yard and rattling off four handicap wins (2m-2m3f, all on good); showed high-class form when routing six rivals at Kempton just after Christmas; impossible to discount, but he'll need another personal best in this higher grade and he also has to prove he's as effective on ground softer than good.

Debut for this yard when making it 2-3 over fences with an all-the-way success last week at Kelso (2m1f, good), justifying odds of 5-4 on his return from a 265-day absence; 2lb well in even with the penalty and he's very lightly raced for an 8yo.

Maiden hurdler who has come late to fences but he's shaped well on both his runs in this sphere; had a wind op before an unfortunate last of six in 2m1f Kelso handicap last month, stumbling after last when in with every chance; merits serious consideration off a 2lb lower mark.
