FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - IMPERIAL CHOICE is the one we’ve seen most recently and she could atone for being a beaten favourite at Limerick last week. She has the dreaded ‘bf’ symbol in her last three lines of form. The daughter of New Approach fell and finished second on a couple of those occasions, and she could be worth another chance. It’s worrying that the five-year-old has yet to win at this game, or indeed in her Flat racing days with Michael Bell. Her latest effort was her first in 307 days and there might be some improvement forthcoming. If solid in the market the chestnut may be worth rowing in behind. Cases can be built for many of them but handicap first-timers like Cornerkova and Michael’s Pick make a bit of appeal.
