Impero (SR 157, 3/1) is the clear class leader in this field — an 11-point SR advantage over the next-best Orkneys Jack (SR 147) and a massive 33-point edge on the favourite Hashtag Pretender (SR 124). The DistFit:+ confirms he has a proven record at today's trip, which is the single most important fitness signal in a beginners' chase where stamina is tested. Jack Kennedy (20% strike rate from 601 rides) is a top-tier booking that endorses connections' belief this is a winning opportunity, and the GoingFit:~ on good ground is not a concern at this class level. The one caveat is the recent form of 3-2355 suggesting he hasn't always converted, but in a beginner's chase against this quality of opposition his SR is so dominant that class alone should tell. Each-way alternative: Orkneys Jack. Main danger: Killeemore Lad — Killeemore Lad (SR 146) brings a strong trainer strike rate relative to yard size via Andrew Slattery and Darragh O'Keeffe's 14% booking, and despite the 27% drift — which is a genuine concern — only 13 days since last run means he arrives fresh and fit, and a beginners' chase over this trip can produce upsets when a horse jumps cleanly from the front.
