Race preview
Alnadam cost connections 130,000 pounds after an Irish point-to-point success for Robert Tyner in May 2018 and warrants respect, while Imperial Flem, second between the flags earlier this year, is another to note for a yard which thrives with such types. Experience under Rules could count for plenty here, though, and Seamus Mullins' THE RAVEN'S RETURN might have enough about him to double up. A Fontwell scorer 158 days ago, the six-year-old won't mind this drop in distance.
