Bred to have some speed but didn't offer a great deal in that respect at Ffos Las 151 days ago. Could have learned from the experience, but a marked step forward is required.

Bred to need more time/distance and was only seventh in a bumper at Kempton on debut. Hard to make a case for.

Limited promise in two outings to date, looking in need of further, so others are more appealing.

Gentlewave gelding. Dam (b85) ran once in bumper. Others make more appeal.

£60,000 4-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam (h73), ran twice over hurdles. First of only 2 finishers sole start in Irish points (Dec 13). Interesting Rules newcomer.

Has an appealing pedigree and shaped with encouragement when sixth in a race at Chepstow that's working out well. Off 129 days since, but yard should have him tuned up.

£52,000 3-y-o, Universal gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Emmarelli. Dam (c145/h130) 2½m-27f hurdle/chase winner. Wears tongue strap. Makes some appeal on paper.

Presenting gelding out of a bumper winner and showed plenty when runner-up at Kempton a month ago. May well progress from that, so he's a definite player.

Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 6.5f-1m US winner Honor The Fleet. Dam 5f-6f US winner. Suited by emphasis on speed when third in an AW bumper a month ago.

Forecasts

King Ferdinand (11/4), Imperial Hope (3/1), Presenting Pete (4/1), Toutatis (13/2), Fringill Dike (8/1), Idle Speculation (17/2), Agent Saonois (11/1), Kasaba Bay (11/1), Crawford (28/1), Gaolbreaker (80/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL HOPE cost £60,000 on the back of a point success and has been found a reasonable opening switched to Rules, so a chance is taken on him to maintain his unbeaten record at the likely expense of King Ferdinand, who shaped well in a stronger race on debut. Presenting Pete is another one to consider.

  1. IMPERIAL HOPE (IRE)
  2. KING FERDINAND (IRE)
  3. PRESENTING PETE (IRE)
