      Verdict

      Spirit Kingdom faded away tamely last time but has clear claims on the evidence of his first two starts. Interestingly, he's not the only one to disappoint when last seen as both Don Armado and Awake In Asia failed to build on previously useful form. All of which makes life tricky for the punter so a chance is taken with IMPROVISING. The Richard Hughes-trained filly has progressed with each of her three starts, gets in here off an acceptable initial rating and should appreciate the extra furlong on offer. Dancing Speed has also shown enough ability to play a part, especially with Seamus Cronin claiming a valuable 7lb.
