IMPERO was progressive over hurdles earlier in the season and having been pitched in the deep end last time, he may be able to regain the winning thread back down in class. Zoffanien is on a long losing run but shaped as though he might be building up to something on his latest run, while Extrapolation should be spot on for this return to hurdles following a spin on the Flat 9 days ago.
