Earlsmedic ended the turf season in good form but his all-weather victories both came at Kempton. There are no doubts about the ability of Imprimis Tagula's to handle the track given his previous eight victories here, six of them last year, and he can figure but this can go to another multiple track winner in INGLEBY ARCH. David Barron's charge registered his seventh win over C&D back in April and arrives a fresh horse having won at Ayr in October on only his second start after a lay-off. Mr Laurel and Cape Vale are others to consider.
