Verdict
Impulsive American went close when beaten by Watt Broderick at Chepstow during the week and should go well again but another chance goes to KING MURO (NAP). He failed in a bid to land a hat-trick when fourth at Plumpton last month but drops back down a grade today with Conor Shoemark's allowance further helping his cause. Newton Abbot winner Dry Ol'party failed to cope with a 6lb rise last time while Fourth Act landed the odds in maiden race here last week and will find this tougher. Benbecula is back on a winning mark and could be thereabouts.
