In depth
Verdict
Imtihan was a smooth winner last time and can make it three on the bounce this afternoon, Charlies Double and Pride Of Pinewood look to be the main dangers. Sue Smith's seven-year-old was always going well in that Kelso event, he jumped like a buck the whole way and quickly went clear once heads were turned for home. He is in rudehealth at present and can win again. Charlies Double landed a summer hat-trick last year and returns here still on a decent looking mark. If fit following his long holliday he should be involved in the finish. Pride Of Pinewood chased home Habitual Dancer in a decent race at Newcastle last time. He should appreciate this shorter trip and could be each-way value. The pick of the others should be recent Sedgefield winner Emmasflora, but Imtihan won with a fair bit in hand last time and can land a quick hat-trick.
