Verdict

PREMIER comes here on the up and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Newbury third. Fellow C&D scorer Phoenix Risen is in fine form too so should ensure Warren Greatrex's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, while Imaginarium, Teorie and Courageous Strike all enter calculations too in this competitive handicap.

1	Fairly useful Irish Flat winner who signed off last season with success in 2m Perth handicap in April. Off 8 months before coming in last of 8 in 2m Sandown handicap (good to soft) 31 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back under these more testing conditions. 3rd Pick 1 Imaginarium (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	98	-	-	-	25%
