Verdict
THE IMPOSTER was a revelation last season for connections and he proved at Ffos Las that there may still be some improvement left in the locker. Brinkley won off a mark of 140 a number of years ago and though 12lb lower today, plenty will rest upon a recent wind surgery working the oracle. Uno Mas hasn’t totally convinced on the prevailing going so Only The Bold is of some appeal given all three of his career successes under Rules have obtained with heavy or soft in the description.
