Mawlood won over a shorter trip here before struggling at Stratford while Midnight Jewel folded tamely at Worcester having earlier scored at Market Rasen. Both G'day Aussie and Don Juan Du Gouet placed on their latest starts without threatening the winner and preference is for IMPHAL. The latter posted his best effort over hurdles so far when runner-up at Chepstow back in April and with last month’s outing on the Flat under his belt, Gary Moore’s charge should be in the mix.
