      Verdict

      POYLE SOPHIE return to Turf on a 5lb higher mark after her second at Kempton so has more to do but there is a lack of serious opposition in this. Fair Comment did win over 1m3f at Kempton last time so is a danger, though this trip has stretched him in the past. Ring Eye and Impulsive American are other possibilities while Midtech Star could be capable of further improvement but Mexican Mick, second over track and trip last time, is 6lb out of the handicap.
