Formscan - The Imposter's winning run came to an end at Exeter earlier this month, but he ran well to fill the runner-up spot and Nigel Hawke's charge remains firmly in calculations. My Strong Man displayed improved form at Catterick on his latest outing and he warrants respect fitted with first-time cheekpieces, but THE GOONER edges the vote. A 280,000-euro purchase at last April's Punchestown sales, the gelded son of Flemensfirth could be well treated from an opening mark of 100 and he looks to have been well placed.
