IMPERIAL ALEX looked back to his very best despite suffering significant interference when second at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and shades the vote over Can't Beat History, who remains on the upgrade. Hardy Diamond is another to consider making her handicap debut in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Won 3 on the bounce last spring, completing the hat-trick with a narrow success at Uttoxeter. Well below form next 4 starts but looked back to best after 3 months off when second at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago despite meeting significant interference. Looks ready to strike.

    Debut winner over hurdles last summer. Winless since but latest second in novice chase at Kilbeggan was her best effort yet despite being friendless in the betting. Could have more to offer now handicapping in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Dual winner over hurdles who was fit from points when off the mark at the second attempt over fences in C&D hunter last month, though his jumping was hardly tested with the pace slow and 4 of the scheduled 18 fences omitted. Will find this more demanding.
