IMPERO fared better than previously over hurdles on first start for this yard when runner-up at Listowel last month and provided the cheekpieces have the same effect second time, Cian Collins' 5-y-o gets the nod at the expense of In The Trenches, who has been a beaten favourite on 5 of his last 7 starts but remains a strong contender. Gordon Elliott's pair Whispering Hopes and Boston Beach can fight out third.
