Extreme Impact was all out to land an amateurs' race at Southwell last Sunday and is worth opposing under a penalty. MILANSBAR (NAP) also has 7lb extra but he could hardly have been more impressive when returning from a two-year absence to score by 23 lengths over 2m4f here 10 days ago and a similar effort today would probably suffice. The step up in trip might not be ideal for Market Rasen winner Raktiman but Qalinas reappears on a fair mark and could go close if fully wound-up.
