FormscanBy Michael Graham - IMPERIAL CHOICE is very hard to get away from after hacking up by five lengths over 1m6f at Navan last week. She is due to go 15lb for that success, but is turned out again quickly under the 7lb penalty. She should be fairly fresh as she didn't have a tough race in Navan. The Abbey won a handicap hurdle at this venue in May and isn't on a bad mark for his return to the Flat. Buttons And Bows was placed in a Tramore maiden over 2m in August last year. Vocito is markedly up in trip on the Flat.
An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
