FormscanBy Tom Weekes - IMPERIAL VIEW is absent for 623 days but won a useful maiden hurdle in October 2019. Well held in two subsequent runs, she reappears over a suitable trip on fences debut and being rated 116 over hurdles, receives 7lbs from the geldings with Darragh O'Keeffe being a positive booking. Regina Dracones, rated 109 over hurdles, also debuts over fences and while she too lacks a run, is helped by her rider's 7lbs claim and likes trip and ground. Valentina Lady was a beaten favourite when exiting at the last on Roscommon chase debut but can improve from that experience. Ciao Bella is race-fit following a recent run and makes her chase debut. Fences debutante Fakir D'alene might prefer a longer trip, having run well over 3m here recently but should make a nice chaser. Mount Melleray showed useful form in two chases last season while Grangeclare Native debuts for new connections on his first run since July. Even Flight ran well on reappearance from a layoff last month but might bump into a few too good.
