In depth
Verdict
Lalania has been running well enough in similar company since her Yarmouth maiden victory though looking a few pounds high. Look Surprised shot up the weights after completing a mid-summer double on Turf but has continued to go well and has to be respected. IMPART has been in fine form and though up 6lb for completing a double at Brighton he looked to have a bit in hand and can land a hat-trick. It's All A Joke won on Polytrack in Ireland and has shown in his two runs for Archie Watson that there's a race for him here. He should be primed for this and didn't get the best of runs here last time.
