Verdict

IMPHAL has done nothing but progress since being stepped up in trip, gaining a fourth hurdles success in good style at Wincanton when last seen in January. With his yard continuing in excellent form, he could well be the answer to go in again from a 4 lb higher mark. Silva Eclipse capitalised on his reduced mark over C&D last time and is a big player, along with likeable 10-y-o Sultans Pride.
