Imperial Cup 2010 Next Running: 15:05 Sandown - Sat March 13th, 2010

Betting Preview

Charlie Mann's Katies Tuitor heads the weights for the Imperial Cup at Sandown on Saturday with an assigned weight of 11st 12lb.

Ante post favourite Hunterview will play no part leaving a vacancy for the market leader which has gone to the Philip Hobbs-trained Qaspal who has tasted recent sucess at Kempton and Sandown and can be had at 5/1 to do the buisness.

Paul Nicholls saddles a duo with Pepe Simo and Pistolet Noir, Jim Boyle Press The Button who has taken hurdling with ease with two victories to his name and arrives here in great from, Howard Johnson has Caravel while Philip Hobbs relies on Oldrik.

Aather looks an interesting contender after impressing at Ffos in December and ran a great race to take runner up slot at Cheltenham last time out in January.

Wade Farm Billy and Cool Touch are the two reserves.
