Formscan - Despite tasting defeat in his hat-trick bid at Epsom, IMPERIAL CULT had a valid excuse given he stumbled leaving the stalls. This likely made all the difference at the finish, when beaten three-quarters of a length into fourth, and the seven-year-old can confirm the form with Mrembo, who was one place behind. King's Castle would be of interest if repeating his second at Lingfield two starts ago.
