    Verdict

    I'm Improving sports headgear after his fourth at Wetherby but the longer trip is probably in his favour. However, he looks too close in the weights to LUCKY DEAL, who was second on fast ground at Thirsk before finishing fourth on his handicap debut and also still has time on his side. Sempre Presto has only gone up 2lb for winning over 1m2f at Pontefract and rates a danger as she should have few problems staying the extra. Emerald Rocket has won twice on Tapeta but is 0-8 on Turf.
