Racing Post verdict
Third-partyImpero holds a clear edge over his rivals on these ratings, sitting three pounds ahead of Hashtag Pretender and a full fifteen clear of Killeemore Lad, and the step up to sixteen furlongs on good ground looks well within his compass. Hashtag Pretender represents the most significant threat and will need to close that gap on the day, while Killeemore Lad and Orkneys Jack cannot be entirely dismissed if Impero fails to reproduce his best. The selection should prove good enough here, though the confidence is tempered by the quality of those immediately behind him. **Impero** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Impero
