MISTER FIZZ continues to improve and added to last year's three wins with a facile 10-length victory in soft going at Haydock last time. All ground comes alike to Imogen Pickard's charge and he gets the vote to defy a penalty and go in again. Whinging Willie won a lesser grade contest at Newbury last time and last year's winner Nave is preferred having gone close again here last week. Ethics Girl also has claims off her current mark but Barwick and Lady Of Yue were both beaten off higher marks last time having won previous to that.
