Verdict

JOKER DE MAI justified support in the style of one well ahead of his mark at Lingfield last week, so he's hard to oppose under a penalty. C&D winner Issam shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on his return at Sandown and is feared most ahead of Imperial Bede, who gives the impression this longer trip ought to suit.
