      Verdict

      Imperial Dancer has been much improved for a step up in trip this season and gained a narrow verdict over Island House in Listed company over 10f at Goodwood last month. The latter may be able to reverse the form on 3lb better terms over this longer trip but Border Arrow has a bit to find with this pair on Goodwood form and may have to settle for a place at best while Capal Garmon may find this on the sharp side.
