Either Our Destrier or Chairman should find the front and dictate terms. IMPOSING SUSPECT (4) has returned in good order and looks ready to peak fourth up. Strong win two back at this track before another good performance in town most recently. Out to this trip now suits and he can get back to winning ways. HASTA LA FIORENTE (3) has also come back well and is set to peak. Expect him to roll forward and give backers a sight at a track he knows. Not to be underestimated. CHAIRMAN (5) was dominant at Penhurst when leading throughout. Meech sticks and he’s capable of repeating the dose. BOLT BY (2) is in a purple patch with back to back wins. The horror draw is the query, but he’s racing too well to dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imposing Suspect to win.
