      Verdict

      POETIC IMAGINATION was beaten only a neck over 6f here last time for John Gosden. Purchased at last week’s sales, she’s take to make a winning start for new connections. She should have the measure of Angel of The South on these terms but Sugar Coating may prove a threat. The latter showed promise at Wolverhampton on her debut, despite failing to threaten the winner, and she can figure with normal progress. The remaining pair have shown little so far and are hard to recommend.
