Verdict

IMPERIAL ALEX shaped well on chasing debut at Warwick (strong form) and he was only beaten by one that had the run of things at Newcastle last time, so he's fancied to make the breakthrough over fences this time. Breeze of Wind is on the up is likely to emerge as a big threat, while Rockinastorm can't be dismissed.
