      Verdict

      This looks set to go the way of the progressive filly Affaire D'A mour. She has not looked back since stepping up in trip and she still looks some way ahead of the Handicapper. Mission To Mars has bits and pieces of form, but has done nothing to suggest he should be a danger at these weights, while the locally trained Mountsorrel, who has been beaten in sellers, may be good enough to reach a place.
