Verdict

There should be more to come from MYTHOLOGY, who was rather run off his feet in Group 2 company last time. This stiffer test of stamina will suit and he can open his account. There are plenty of interesting newcomers on show including the Aidan O'Brien pair, Henry Longfellow and Master of The Hunt. They may provide the chief threat.

  2. HENRY LONGFELLOW (IRE)
  3. MASTER OF THE HUNT (IRE)
