        Verdict

        Mia's Boy has every chance dropping back in trip after last week's second to Aquilonius. A line through the latter brings Wolverhampton winner Alfred Hutchinson into the equation while George Guru finished ahead of Rakaan and Webbow here a fortnight ago and he's another to consider. Atlantis Crossing and Verse Of Love have so far proved best over 7f and the latter will do well to confirm latest running with SOLAR DEITY over today's longer trip. Marco Botti's charge scored over course and distance on his penultimate start and can return to winning ways off only a 3lb higher mark today.
