      Verdict

      Barye has been placed in lesser company at Wolverhampton recently but Mica Mika still looks too high in the weights. Miss Buckshot is preferred on her recent form and ran well again when runner-up in this grade at Lingfield last month. But BREAKHEART has had just a couple of outings since May and found only one too good over a mile at Lingfield last time. Twice a winner over this longer trip, Andrew Balding's charge may come out best today. Topamichi scored in heavy ground at Windsor in October but might need this and recent Wolverhampton runner-up Bobby Benton is upped in class.
