      Verdict

      Optician has improved since going handicapping but the penny dropped with ALPINA EXPRESS at Ayr. Jockey bookings suggest she’s preferred to dual winner Timewave here and she can defy a penalty. Time Traveller has found only one too good on a couple of occasions and should be thereabouts again but it’s difficult to make a strong case for the others.
