FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Only a pound higher than when narrowly touched off at Limerick recently, IMPERIAL DREAM can register a first Irish success. Twice a winner for Sir Mark Prescott, the Holy Roman Emperor gelding has been remarkably consistent since joining present connections. In a race restricted to apprentices, it is an obvious advantage that the four-year-old has his regular jockey on board. Shoot To Kill has to have strong claims under Cian MacRedmond. Second over this course and distance last time, the seven-year-old had Imperial Dream behind him on that occasion. With the race winner following up subsequently that form has a solid look. Oriental Dancer won here on her penultimate start before again running a big race at Tipperary earlier this month.
