Verdict
IMPRESSIVE DUKE (NAP) stayed on strongly to score over a shorter trip at Stratford last week. He is sure to appreciate the extra quarter-mile here and can defy his penalty. Boy In A Bentley has proved hard to place and is returning from a break but has place claims again while Alexander The Grey has made the frame in three of his five chase starts and should be thereabouts again. Kilmoganny is a long-standing maiden who is 10lb out of the handicap.
