In depth
Formwatch
Impertio on recent evidence looks a little one paced but he is trained by a shrewd handler of this type of horse and the competition here is not brilliant. The lightly-raced Board Walk looks to be the first string of Mrs Reveley and it will be no surprise to see him put up a bold display here. Another Question has a good outsiders chance and put in his best performance in defeat behind Foxies Lad in a far better race than this at Wincanton on his penultimate start before not enjoying the softer ground last time.Monarch's Pursuit ran as though something was amiss last time having previously won a poor race at Catterick and it is hard to see him getting competitive here.
