A competitive handicap for a nice prize and connections of Seniority will be hoping he can confirm recent course and distance form with Mythical Madness. Ryan Moore takes over on the former but the latter re-opposes on better terms. Masham Star is preferred to stablemate Love Dreams over today’s trip while Emirates Flyer sports a first-time visor and makes more appeal than returning stable companion Race Day. PERKUNAS missed the whole of last year but ran well in tough handicaps in 2016 and is reunited with Frankie Dettori for this. He gets a speculative vote but Surrey Hope is not out of this either and all-weather regulars Constantino and Qaffaal could both go well.
