What we do know is that the team behind Svg Imperium has been in excellent form. Hugo Palmer, training out of Malpas in Cheshire, has sent out 67 winners already this season — a number that speaks to a yard firing on all cylinders. Palmer has a reputation for having his two-year-olds well-prepared on debut, so a big effort first time out would not be a surprise. With no race experience to judge, the horse is still an open question — but it is being asked in one of the better yards in the country, and that counts for something.
