      Verdict

      The Clive Cox-trained Dunelight is the highest rated of the five runners for this Listed race being rated 109 but the seven-year-old has a penalty to carry for his win at Wolverhampton last month and he may struggle to concede weight to MIA'S BOY, who gets the vote ahead of Cloudy Start. Jamie Osborne's colt has every chance on official BHA ratings being rated 105 and has to be respected on his seasonal reappearance but he needed the run first time out last term and it may be the same again this season so he may be best watched. Rod Millman's Light From Mars made an encouraging return at Kempton earlier this month when a length fifth behind Beauchamp Viceroy and he has to be considered but needs to improve to trouble the selection, while Marco Botti's Fanunalter has a bit to find on official ratings and is probably better on the Polytrack. The vote then goes the way of Chris Dwyer's Mia's Boy, who has solid claims on official ratings and comes here having run well in both starts so far this term.
