The draw is against Diamond Blade and we will take him on here with IMPERIAL HOUSE who is preferred to Josphiel. Diamond Blade has been knocking on the door, and he ran his best race yet at Ripon last time when he chased home Francis Walsingham. However, the form of his last two runs have not worked out well and from a poor draw he could be one to swerve. Imperial House could therefore be a better bet as this colt shaped with plenty of promise on his debut and he looked as though he would learn plenty for the run. The yard have had a few winners this week and he should go well. Josphiel has had a few chances but she has not been disgraced on either of her last two starts and she looks to have solid place claims today. Millers Crossing is well drawn and could prove best of the others, but the vote goes to Imperial House.
