'The frantic pace will suit him' - our experts deliver their Saturday verdicts

The Paddy Power Imperial Cup is Sandown's feature. Who wins?

Fran Berry, Racing TV It will be interesting to see how Suprise Package performs against the British-trained handicappers. He is a highly talented horse on his day, and given Peter Fahey’s record when he travels his horses to Britain, he is worth an each-way play against the field.

Tom Park, Weekender editorSamarrive for me. He was hugely impressive when winning a handicap here two starts ago. He flopped last time in a valuable handicap hurdle at Ascot but there were plenty who did not run their race there and he can be forgiven. They look sure to go at a frantic pace and that really will suit him.

Maddy Playle, journalist Current Mood ran well in two Grade 2s over 2m5f and 3m at Cheltenham before Christmas and beat Kingofthewest, who has won since and runs in the EBF Final, back down to 2m at Chepstow last time. I like strong stayers in this race and her mark isn’t insurmountable with her rider’s 3lb claim.
