Imhotep, a son of Kingman, is a half-brother to three winners including the Group 3 winner Fair Eva. But he was beaten three lengths when odds-on at Yarmouth after a modest debut third at Kempton. Sheriffmuir is fitted with cheekpieces having a first run since July last year but the form of his only race is working out well. ALMAHHA (NAP) may enjoy a fitness advantage, however, and there was plenty to like about her introduction at Chelmsford last month in which she was staying on under tender handling. Reine De Vitesse has shown some ability so can’t be ignored.
