Lelantos won one of these events when beating Mr Yeats over track and trip last month and can go well again while Bright Sunbird was raised 8lb for winning at Uttoxeter and was awarded the race at Cartmel last time having been carried right on the run-in. But IMPERIAL SACHIN'S has been rejuvenated by a switch of yards and the application of a tongue-tie and has won both outings so far for Fergal O’Brien. A winner over hurdles at Uttoxeter earlier, he can effectively race off a lower mark today with Jack Hogan’s allowance taken into account. Blakeney Point posted a better effort here last time and is back up in distance.
