Effectively a three-horse race, with IMPERIAL MERLIN fancied to defy the double penalty and take his record to 3-3 over hurdles. The Skeltons' representative Hitching Jacking should go on improving after his victory at Uttoxeter, whilst De Legislator is also expected to progress from his successful Rules debut.
