SUDDEN IMPULSE is on a role at present and is taken to land his hat-trick at the expense of Brockfield and Destinys Dream. The selection has landed back to back victories at Musselburgh and Beverly recently. He has however shot up twelve pounds in the ratings as a consequence. That said he did win off a higher mark a couple of years ago so he maybe worth staying on the right of for the time being. Brockfield lacks experience but has been performing well of late. He broke his maiden tag at Nottingham on his penultimate outing and was not discredited after finishing third of fourteen at Beverly last time out so he should be added to the short list. Destinys Dream looks well treated on some of her old form and if at her best she can pick up some place prize money, but Sudden Impulse is the form horse in the race and looks the percentage call.
