Imperial Glance battled on gamely to land a 7f maiden over today's rival The Scuttler at Epsom in September and will have come on for last month's run at Lingfield. The runner-up is 2lb better off and has performed with credit subsequently and had ECHO BRAVA behind when scoring over 7f at Lingfield last month though there are reasons to believe the latter can turn the tables and take this. He was staying on strongly in the closing stages that day and has since won over this trip at Kempton, with Hidden Link just behind, and a 2lb rise looks manageable. Poor Duke faces fast ground for the first time but it's Muskat Link, who showed plenty of promise in his first campaign, that looks the main threat on his reappearance.
