      Verdict

      Mirth disappointed last time and stablemate Conversing makes more appeal after posting a better effort over 1m2f under today's jockey, Silvestre De Sousa. Handiwork will have his supporters on the back of a second at Lingfield when stepped up to today's trip and Autrisk should also appreciate this greater test of stamina. MIGHTY THOR has improved with every start and belied odds of 50/1 to finish fourth at Lingfield last time. With further progress expected on his handicap debut, Simon Dow's colt gets the nod. Brick Rising may also do better for the extra distance and looks best of the rest.
