Formscan  - Both Allegorie De Vassy and IMPERVIOUS bid to maintain their unbeaten chase records, and the latter is marginally preferred. The daughter of Shantou arrives on the back of a half-length success in a Grade 3 at Punchestown, beating a smart rival in Journey With Me, and, with the extra furlong set to suit, she can continue her ascendency. The former has notched up a brace of Grade 2 victories recently, but the strength of that form is up for debate. Elimay bids to retain her crown having landed the corresponding race last year, but she might prove vulnerable to some less-exposed types. Magic Daze, who holds Elimay on their meeting at Naas last month, is another to take seriously.
