Verdict

Mia's Boy would have been the selection here had he not disappointed again when only fourth at Wolverhampton last month. It's now more than 12 months since the six-year-old visited the winner's enclosure and he is taken on again here with ARTEUS. After chasing home the in-form Mac's Power over 6f here in September, Jane Chapple-Hyam's gelding got the better of Seek The Fair Land and Autumn Blades over this trip at Lingfield eight days ago and can confirm the form, despite the revised terms. Elna Bright should strip fitter for his Lingfield third and looks best of the rest.
