Lost his way when with Alan King and found the return to a markedly shorter trip against him after 19 months off at Warwick. Return to further will suit ahead of chase bow but others still possess more convincing profiles.

Off the mark over hurdles in a heavy-ground Lingfield maiden (19.5f) last December. Has struggled since, first run since leaving Sam Drinkwater when pulled up in Taunton handicap chase in November.

Got off the mark over C&D in December and backed it up with an excellent second of 9 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Tongue tied. Player up 2 lb.

Mixed bag over hurdles for this yard but returned to something like his best back over fences, showing a good attitude to land 7-runner Ffos Las handicap (19.4f) and he doubled his tally here 13 days ago. Well in the mix despite a 5 lb rise.

A fair winning hurdler who is knocking on the door over fences, strong-travelling clear second of 11 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Big shout nudged up 1 lb.

Winless over hurdles but she comes here in good nick, third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (25.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Much respected on her chase debut.

Pair of 2m wins at the end of 2020 but has drawn a blank since. 25/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Ludlow (2½m, soft) 34 days ago but no certainty to build on that.

Forecasts

Imperial Alex (2/1), Eyed (16/5), Royal Mer (5/1), Getbazoutofhere (6/1), Miltiades (6/1), No Tackle (12/1), Est Illic (22/1), Grosvenor Court (33/1), Royal Act (125/1), Sleve Donard (150/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL ALEX signalled he's ready to open his account in this sphere when a clear Uttoxeter second last time so gets the nod at the chief expense of Miltiades, who rates a big danger on the back of his excellent Taunton runner-up effort. Ffos Las victor Royal Mer is another who brings solid credentials to the table.
