Verdict
IMPERIAL RULE made a solid return to action for Lizzie Quinlan when third to El Muchacho over C&D in November and is expected to reverse the form with that in-and-out rival. Defence Witness should strip fitter with his reappearance behind him and may emerge as the chief threat.

VerdictLargely disappointing for various trainers since 2023/24 but returned to form from out of the blue to win at Sedgefield in November. Given overall profile, he failed badly to back that up returned to that venue 18 days later. - 3. Defence WitnessJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Sam EnglandF: 66438-153

VerdictGot off the mark over fences at Cartmel in May but resumed from 6 months off with a well-held third of 7 in handicap chase over C&D 16 days ago. Should run closer to form this time.
