Imperial Sovereign
Sole win (19 races) was a novice in 2023; running respectably this term, drawn wide when never able to challenge in the Chester Plate last time; competitively handicapped but probably not the percentage call.

From the connections
“Imperial Sovereign is a lovely horse. The trip was great and there's a bit of a diagonal wind, but my lad galloped well and it didn't seem to stop him. He's still very green and after the race there were some tyre tracks and he just started ducking around, but he'll have learned plenty today. I'd say he'd stay over the mile for now but he'd probably get further. He's a big horse and has a lot of filling and strengthening to do - Clifford Lee, jockey.”
