LONGEST TRAVELLER: IMPERATIVE trained by I Jardine, Carrutherstown, 205 miles.

The vote goes to JENNY REN, who scored over this C&D on her penultimate start and will appreciate dropping back in trip having ran out of petrol close home when fourth over 1 3/4m back here 3 weeks ago. International Law wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Newcastle and he is next on the list ahead of Princess Nieve. Following a creditable effort in a handicap hurdle recently, Alkhattaaf is also worth a second look
