Verdict
IMPERIAL ALEX ran into all sorts of trouble when second at Warwick recently. Normal luck in-running could see him go one better in this. Elleon ended last season with a run of five consecutive seconds over fences and Coolmoyne is preferred on a recent placed effort at Sedgefield. Pats Dream should be sharper for last month’s chasing bow but Augharue disappointed at Kelso and is upped in trip.
