FormscanBy Alan Magee - There was little to choose between Imperial Dream and SHOOT TO KILL when the pair were only beaten about a length over this trip at Down Royal last month with Chestnutter back in eighth. Not a lot went right for the selection on that occasion as he ran loose before the start and perhaps he can add to eight previous in the UK. Giuseppe Cassioli made a pleasing reappearance when beaten less than a length over a mile here last month, while Ice Cold In Alex has been a great servant for Ken Condon and still retains plenty of ability as evidenced by his two recent runs at the Curragh. Pier Pressure progressed well last year and should benefit from his recent run at the Curragh.
