Verdict

IMPOSING SUSPECT (4) has returned in good order and looks ready to peak fourth up. The rise in trip is ideal and he's drawn to enjoy the suck run. Shapes as the one to beat. HASTA LA FIORENTE (3) has also come back well and is set to peak. Expect him to roll forward and give backers a sight at a track he knows. Not to be underestimated. CHAIRMAN (5) was dominant at Penhurst when leading throughout. Meech sticks and he's capable of repeating the dose. FOX GEM (9) has built steadily into this and looks ready to put it all together stepping out to this journey. Will drift back early but be charging hard late. BOLT BY (2) is in a purple patch with back to back wins. The horror draw is the query, but he's racing too well to dismiss.
