Verdict

This looks wide open but it was hard not to be impressed with the manner of IMPERVIOUS' debut success at Cork in August, defeating a next-time-out winner by 6.5 lengths. She's worth her place at this higher level and earns the vote. Quirt Evans and the selection's stablemate Botani head up the dangers.
