Verdict
IMPHAL went close off this mark at Chepstow in April and has a had a couple of runs to blow away the cobwebs. Jockey bookings suggest he’s preferred to stablemate Guguss Collonges. Sixties Secret is a Plumpton specialist but there are possibilities about Thirtyfourstitches, who has already won twice this season, while Teenage Dirtbag has been progressive this year. No Worries was second over 2m3f here at the start of the month but beaten 11 lengths and this looks a better race.
