      Verdict

      Player's Luck produced an improved showing at Salisbury on Saturday evening when leading until the final furlong on handicap bow and Roger Varian wastes little time in returning him to the fray. He goes an extra 2f now but SISTER CELINE (NAP) is already proven at the trip and can continue the good form of Roger Charlton. The Al Kazeem filly is improving with time and distance and a mark of 61 gives her every chance of bettering her latest run when a good second to Cross My Mind at Windsor on good to firm. She receives 3lb from Player's Luck. Encryption showed enough on his first start for David Simcock to indicate he has a role to play, whilst the remainder have bits and pieces of form but probably need to improve to figure.
