Imperial Cult has placed in three of his seven career starts but only once so far on Turf and has to concede 9lb to the three-year-old PFINGSTBERG (NAP). Oisin Murphy’s mount was only beaten half-a-length on soft going at Leicester last week and races off the same mark here. Chepstow runner-up Queensland Boy tries a longer trip and has only faced good ground so far.
