Sufi won at Stratford in June but has been well beaten in both starts since. Good Impression is seeking a hat-trick of course and distance victories this year, however, while Star Legend was only beaten a length at Southwell earlier this month, though could have done without a 3lb rise. IMPERIAL MEASURE was given too much to do when last seen here in May. Placed twice at Ffos Las earlier, Evan Williams’ charge can return with a victory.
