Has yet to trouble the judge this season (including last of 5 at Carlisle just 4 days ago) but he did win this race 12 months ago so it wouldn't be a shock were he to stage a revival in first-time blinkers.

14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kelso (21f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Third to Grand Canal in this race last year but not seen on the Flat since finishing down the field at Hamilton a month later. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Others are more obvious.

Good start for new yard, building on AW handicap debut second when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (13f, good) 28 days ago. Lightly-raced profile provides him with scope for better again. Leading claims.

Fair maiden. First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when creditable third of 6 in handicap at this course (13, good to firm) 13 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Respected.

C&D winner last September. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (2m, good, 15/2) on reappearance 21 days ago. Should strip fitter now.

Forecasts

Annandale (15/8), Imperative (2/1), Baez (7/2), Grand Canal (13/2), Aighear (16/1), Red Missile (50/1)

Verdict

IMPERATIVE is the unexposed one in this line-up and is selected to make light of a 4 lb rise for last month's course win. Baez made a sound start for the Jim Goldie yard when third here 13 days ago and could be the one to give Iain Jardine's representative most to think about.

  1. Imperative2/1
  2. Baez7/2
  3. Annandale15/8
