Formscan - IMPERATIVE is bred to stay well and has improved on his last couple of starts, including when getting off the mark here over 1m 5f last month, and the four-year-old appears capable of defying a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Stable companion Annandale is turned out quickly following his third at Carlisle on Thursday and warrants plenty of respect. Jim Goldie saddles half the field and, of his trio, Baez makes the most appeal up in trip.
