IMPERIAL RULE made a solid return to action for Lizzie Quinlan when third to El Muchacho over C&D in November and is expected to reverse the form with that in-and-out rival. Defence Witness should strip fitter with his reappearance behind him and may emerge as the chief threat.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Defence Witness could have pace conditions to suit amongst the tissue principals: As one of the main contenders, from an expected position furthest from the lead, Imperial Rule could be vulnerable given the paucity of front runners.
Individual Price Hint: Beat The Edge has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
