      Verdict

      SOPHIE OLIVIA (NAP) was second to a horse now rated 135 at Musselburgh in March and returned from a break to beat Reivers Lodge 17 lengths here nine days ago. Providing she’s fully recovered, Martin Todhunter’s grey should defy her penalty. Druid's Diamond is from a yard that does well here and he has been placed twice on the Flat this summer, though disappointed last time when favourite. Silva Eclipse had winning form on the level last year but has struggled this term. Rossamilan won a maiden point in March but is likely to do better over fences.
