IMPERIAL BEDE returned to something like his best with cheekpieces enlisted when scoring at Catterick 2 weeks ago and, remaining well treated on old form nudged up 4 lb, he looks to hold sound claims provided the quick turnaround doesn't catch him out. Passing Kate may well benefit from the application of first-time headgear and she's offered up for the forecast, ahead of last year's winner Zestful Hope.
