IMPOSE TOI is thriving under the expert tutelage of Nicky Henderson and fancied to bag a fourth success for the yard on the back of his impressive big-field Cheltenham victory. Venetia Williams' new-recruit Bucksy des Epeires also has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, with C&D scorer Arqoob and Punta del Este also well in the mix in this competitive handicap.
