IMARAJAN was an improved second in a big-field handicap at the Curragh on his final start for his previous yard during the autumn and, having shaped well both runs over hurdles for his new yard in recent months, he is taken to go one better here. It's been over two years since Duke of Leggagh last won on the Flat but he scored twice over hurdles in February and is feared most here off an attractive mark. Tudor Manor, another who is fit from hurdles, also enters the reckoning.
