Imperiousity has improved for going handicapping and steps back up in trip along with Bath third Zous Baby. Something went amiss with Alaskan at Kempton last time having earlier finished second at Southwell and a chance is taken on MICK SAYS NO. The latter could only manage fourth behind higher rated horses than these in novice company at Wolverhampton but much better is expected making his handicap debut at this lowly level.
