        Verdict

        Topsoil scored at Wolverhampton but finished last of nine back at the same track last week. Pearl Noir also disappointed last time having gone close at Wolverhampton earlier this month BUT Excellent Aim is usually thereabouts, though has won just the once since 2013. MISTRY is less exposed than most of these and ran well for second up against much higher rated horses in a maiden race at Lingfield a week ago. This drop back in distance should suit and she should go close under the talented Lulu Stanford.
