        Verdict

        IMPROVE is penalised for winning at Haydock back in May but beat a subsequent winner on that occasion who is now rated 88. The Haggas filly is taken to make a winning return given the strength of that form and today’s relatively modest opposition. Dropping the disappointing Reassurance back to a mile looks a desperate move and stablemate Arctic Haze is preferred after placing at Lingfield. Never Be Enough went backwards last time and Sun Hat hasn’t raced since failing to figure at Wolverhampton in December.
