Primary A Possible For Vase

Primary could bid to follow up his Betfred Classic Trial victory in the MBNA Europe Chester Vase Stakes on Thursday.

William Haggas' charge was a neck winner of the Group Three race on his seasonal bow at Sandown and his handler is considering running in the Chester event over a mile and a half.

'There are lots of options and we will make the decision as to whether to run based on what the best race is for him. The ground would not be an issue,' said Haggas.

French Group One winner Linda's Lad is among 14 entries but the Andre Fabre-trained colt is more likely to run at Lingfield on Saturday.

Aidan O'Brien has the choice of Group Two winner Septimus, Altius and Mountain, while course specialist Barry Hills has just the one entry in Mashaahed.

The In The Wings colt has yet to get his head in front but he made a pleasing seasonal bow when third in a Newmarket maiden.

'He is a nice horse and got tired at Newmarket,' said Hills.

'He looks terrific and will run. Ideally he would like a bit of juice in the ground but the ground at Chester is usually very good racing ground.'

Sandown third Baan could reoppose for Mark Johnston, while there is another Irish entry in the Kevin Prendergast-trained Chiado.

Mark Wallace could run Remember Ramon, who has already won a Musselburgh maiden and a Windsor handicap this season.

'Remember Ramon would like the forecast fast ground and I will be speaking to the owner,' said Wallace.

'We will have a look over the next couple of days at what other horses are going to run and will make a decision later in the week but I think he is good enough to take his place in the line up.'

Geoff Wragg is another who boasts an excellent record at Chester and he has entered Newbury maiden runner-up Dragon Dancer.

'He will run and he wouldn't mind the ground. We are very pleased with him and think he has a good chance,' said Wragg.
