Forecasts

Defence Witness (10/11), Beat The Edge (11/4), Imperial Rule (11/2), El Muchacho (13/2)

Verdict

IMPERIAL RULE made a solid return to action for Lizzie Quinlan when third to El Muchacho over C&D in November and is expected to reverse the form with that in-and-out rival. Defence Witness should strip fitter with his reappearance behind him and may emerge as the chief threat.

  1. IMPERIAL RULE (IRE)

  3. EL MUCHACHO (IRE)
