    Verdict

    Ateem has struggled in better company since winning at Brighton in May and remains 8lb higher. But John Gosden has sent a strong team and his GEORGE VILLIERS gets another chance having failed to see out 1m2f here last month but going close over a mile at Sandown before that. A winner at Southwell, Illusional has only his second start on Turf while Miss Mumtaz faces a tougher task than when runner-up at Leicester on her penultimate start.
