IMPRESSOR bounced back to form in tenacious fashion when scoring at Redcar 12 days ago and a similar performance should see him go close. Slainte Mhath landed a gamble in good style back on turf at the same meeting so is another to consider along with Isle of Dreams, who completed a 4-timer when making a winning comeback at Catterick.
