IMAGINE fared best of the handicap debutants when a very good fifth of 21 in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and that form is arguably the best on offer. Grangeclare West wasn't up to Grade 1 level the last twice but should make much more of an impact here, while Da Capo Glory could figure if his latest run is forgiven.
