Formscan  - IMPERIAL SAINT boasts an impressive record at this venue, with three victories out of four attempts here, and further glory could be imminent. The Saint Des Saints gelding was last seen finishing second over 3m1f at the Aintree Festival and reverting to 2m4f holds no fear. Boombawn finished a respectable fourth in the Manifesto over C&D in April and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Oaksey at Sandown. The eight-year-old could have a big say in proceedings reverting to handicap company and is feared most, ahead of dual Grade 2 winner Master Chewy.
