Formscan - Suitably Surprised successfully completed a double over 2m at Leicester four days ago and should mount a bold bid. However, she will need to transfer that form to fences and IMPERIAL RULE gets the nod as a result. Rebecca Menzies' seven-year-old regained the winning thread in smart style in a stronger event than this at Sedgefield last time and a 6lb rise might be lenient. Just Gino is the pick of the remainder.
