The seller looks between Imperium, Winning Venture and Tiviski and we will side with Imperium to win this for the in-form Stef Liddiard-stable. He was winning for the first time in 30 runs when winning a seller at this course earlier this month. The drop back in trip will suit and he was only three-lengths behind Gilded Cove in a competitive seller here last week. Tiviski has run no sort of race in her last two starts since winning a handicap at Lingfield in February. George Margarson has had no explanation for this poor form and others make more appeal. Winning Venture is dropping back in trip having contested longer distances recently. If he can reproduce the form that saw him win around this course last month he will be a big danger, however there are doubts that this sharper trip will suit and we will stick with Imperium
