FIRST IMPRESSION made a sparkling return to hurdling when scoring at Wetherby last month and is hard to side against here despite taking a 7 lb rise in the weights. Hat-trick seeking Minella Plus rates the obvious threat, with in-form duo Auditoria and Spiritofthenorth both not taken lightly either in a competitive handicap.
