Verdict
It was good going when Puddlesinthepark scored over track and trip recently while Ballydisco’s placed effort here came over a shorter trip. THE IMPOSTER is suited by both the underfoot conditions and distance and, having won four of his last five outings, Nigel Hawke’s progressive charge can defy a further rise in the weights. Learntalot is usually in the mix and is preferred to Gentleman Valley, who represents last year’s winning yard.
