Verdict
Imperial Act won at Wolverhampton before returning a disappointing favourite here last time behind runner-up Red Gunner. But the latter has been well beaten since while Johni Boxit is another who went close here only to post a poor effort last time. King Oswald is also unpredictable and it remains to be seen if Tally's Son can build on a recent placed effort at Windsor but THE GAME IS ON remains unexposed and stepping up in trip on only his second outing of the year, he gets the vote for the in-form Prescott yard.
