IMPREVU DU LARGE is rare for a horse from the Paul Nicholls yard in that he has been given such a lowly opening mark and a chance is taken that he'll fare better now handicapping. The Bold Thady probably sets the standard in form terms but he is an irresolute beast and can't be fully trusted to get the job done even against inferior opposition. Scrum Diddly may now do better up in trip and completes the shortlist.
