      Verdict

      IMPROVISED is taken to continue her good progress now handicapping. David O’Meara’s filly defied a penalty to win at Catterick last time and gave the impression this extra distance would suit in the process. Poet's Magic scored over today’s trip at Ayr but carries 5lb extra but Lethal Talent won at Chelmsford recently and can race off a much lower mark here having yet to win on Turf. Areehaa can go well back at this lower level and is preferred to Velvet Vista of the rest.
