Formscan - Having recorded a double on the all-weather at Lingfield in late July, the hat-trick seeking Imperial Cult arrives in fine fettle and another bold showing is likely. However, he is now 8lb higher than when eighth at this venue earlier in the same month so preference is for CORPORATE RAIDER. Julia Feilden's gelding found only a progressive type too strong at Brighton last time out and a 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable. Early Morning Dew and Mrembo also enter the reckoning.
