Verdict
IMPHAL has thrived since given a stamina test and the fact that he hasn't won by far ensures he hasn't gone up much in the weights so a hat-trick looks on the cards. Cheer's Delboy attempted to make all here last time but a couple of late blunders put paid to his chances and Dynali looks more of a threat. He was only beaten a length by the selection at Ludlow and will be 2lb better off though looked to have had every chance. Teenage Dirtbag is consistent enough at a lowly level and stays the trip while Drumlee Getaway, a winning Irish point-to-pointer, has joined Olly Murphy, whose yard is running at a 30% strike-rate.
