IMPERIAL ALCAZAR developed into a useful novice last season and looks likely to do even better now tackling 3m for the first time on his handicap debut. He can make a winning return in a red-hot renewal of this staying handicap which has gone to some good ones in the past. Relegate, and Main Fact, seeking a remarkable 9-timer, are the chief dangers.
