First Impression¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Forecasts

Al Mubhir (3/1), First Impression (9/2), Revich (15/2), Cockalorum (8/1), Chichester (10/1), Mr Alan (12/1), What's The Story (14/1), Tilsitt (14/1), Yorkshire Lady (18/1), Faylaq (18/1), Society Red (18/1), Love Is Golden (22/1), Sir Chauvelin (25/1), Fishable (33/1)

FIRST IMPRESSION won this event off 4 lb lower in 2020 and shaped well on his return from a break at York recently. He makes plenty of appeal. Al Mubhir and Love is Golden should also make their presence felt.
