It could pay to stick with HOW IMPRESSIVE on the back of a victory at Yarmouth. Mellys Flyer won off a higher mark when last at this venue and debuts for a new yard. El Hombre finished behind the latter having won at Lingfield earlier and Regal Envoy scored over the minimum trip at Bath more recently. Fifty Year Storm may prove best of the rest.
