Good TB bloodlines?

Arth's by Primitive Rising (he's 11 now, so was one of the first I think?) but his damsire SJed at the olympics so it's hard to tell whre the massive jump comes from, but to me he's put together well and is as genuine as the day is long. I have just bought a 4yo who's by Diamond Hit (bl**dy warbloods

) but his damsire is Primitive Rising... He's unbelievably genuine when it comes to jumping, never stopped once including water trays with water, ditches, scary fillers away from home... and if he's on a real baby misser he tries regardless... I don't know if it's because Arth is my first proper horse, but I really like them, to the point that I see a horse go xc and think "Oh that's smart I like that" and I look in the schedule and guess who it's by...

Adding onto that, I have tried a Primitive Rising and although it was a bit skitz, it was genuine... but it had shocking confirmation..! As said above though, I think dams have alot to do with it, and Arths dam was an advanced eventer in the late 80's early 90's with Les Smith, and that's possibly where he gets it from?
 
I knew a primitive rising who was a really smart little mare, but my god was she a bag!!

Looked every inch the part, but wouldnt want her!!! BUT I think alot of it is early education to I think...?
 
I also tried a primitive rising when I bought my latest- something a bit special when worked, but tried to double barrel the girl as she un-rugged it and went for her when she girthed it!
 
We've had tbs by-

Alhijaz This was a very cute and willing little horse with plenty of ability but he wasnt the bravest soul on the planet.
Saddlers Hall Wouldnt have another as the mare was talentless and had a mean streak.
Beneficial Great mover and nice enough jump but a bit of a stress head and not that easy to have around/ take to parties.
Golden Snake Apparently they all have wonky limbs but mine was an exceptionally sweet and easy going horse, maybe not a lot of talent but the right attitude.
Touch Gold Totally gutless and very, very naughty!
Red Ransom Has a really nice attitude- bold, nice jump, very trainable
Elnadim Nice type,very nice natured and a big natural jump.
Golden Heights I wouldnt have another but it may well have been the damline that was the problem in this mare's case
Kadastrof This horse really moves, has a lot of jump but is a bit of a worrier. He's a very natural xc horse.
Song You'll only find him back a couple of generations but we had a cracking 3* horse by him who was very talented and brave

Thats all the ones I can think of now (that I know the names of at least!)
