Verdict
IMPERIUM was placed off today’s mark last time having won over 1m4f at Lingfield earlier. He went close over today’s longer trip at the latter track at the end of last year and Roger Charlton’s charge looks the one to side with. Al Kout has had s spin over hurdles since placing at Newcastle and can figure but The Rocket Park’s best efforts so far came on Turf including an earlier win at Thirsk. The remainder are harder to recommend though Point In Time is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
