Third Estate is best watched following a very long absence while Shady Character is having a first try over the larger obstacles and blinkered after disappointing at Bangor. Go As You Please has already won twice over fences and found only one too good at Huntingdon in March, though is now on a career-high mark. IMPERIAL ACOLYTE (NAP) failed to complete in his first three runs over fences but did nothing wrong when second here earlier in the month and is clearly on a lenient mark at present.
