Verdict

This looks a great opportunity for IMPERIL to get off the mark at the first attempt in the UK. His experience in France where he has hit the frame on a couple of outings in juveniles will prove useful. Whenitcomestoit ran really well on his sole start in a bumper on Perth and he can follow that up with another strong performance on his hurdles debut, while Takeit Easy should improve on his two runs over hurdles to fill the placings.
