Showed plenty at Doncaster on debut in June, form which worked out well. Off 5 months and runner-up both stars since over 1m at Southwell. Up in trip for handicap debut and while mark demands more, that could be forthcoming.

Sole win gained over C&D last May. Solid if unspectacular start in handicaps after, though signed off with a lesser effort back here in November. In very good hands and assessor has lent a hand.

Had a good spell at the start of last summer but rather went off the boil. Probably needed last month's Wolverhampton reappearance and should run closer to form this time.

Reached the frame in 2 all-weather handicaps for James Ferguson but hasn't shaped with masses of promise in 3 starts for Ivan Furtado.

Three all-weather wins last year. Probably isn't as good on turf and just a respectable sixth at Pontefract 2 weeks ago. Back up in trip.

Bounced back to best making only second start on all-weather when runner-up at Newcastle in January. Shaped as though still in form both starts since so one to take very seriously returned to turf.

Fit from hurdling (placed in ordinary handicaps both completed starts since joining Mark Walford) but didn't go with masses of promise at Pontefract 2 weeks ago.

Responded well to pressure when doubling career tally at Beverley in September (1¼m). Off since but in very capable hands so he should be a major player on this reappearance.

Shock C&D winner on second handicap run in October but no impact both starts the following month switched to the all-weather.

Forecasts

Mafting (13/8), Imperial Trooper (7/2), Nicator (11/2), Urban Road (9/1), Dawn Of Liberation (10/1), Not Me (11/1), Hill O Rue (14/1), Jam Lass (18/1), Character Testing (28/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL TROOPER is yet to win for his current yard but he's been shaping up quite nicely on the all-weather this spring so he could be the answer back on turf. Hill O Rue and Mafting are weighted to go close on return for successful yards.

  1. Imperial Trooper7/2
  2. Hill O Rue14/1
  3. Mafting13/8
