Formscan - IMPERIAL ALEX drops back in trip following his handicap debut success at Warwick and the six-year-old is expected to have another big say in proceedings here, despite a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Eden Mill is rated 2lb lower following a distant second over 2m at Ayr in January, but is feared in a first-time tongue tie ahead of Coniston Clouds.
