        Verdict

        Improvized is penalised for last week's victory over course and distance in heavy ground. But she may struggle to confirm running with the narrowly beaten second STYBBA (NAP) on today's revised terms and Andrew Balding's filly is fancied to come out best on this occasion. No Refund escapes a penalty for landing an apprentice race over 7f at Leicester and should go well again while Rockie Road went close the last time he encountered soft going and looks best of the rest.
