Roger Varian's newcomer Corinthian is by Sea The Stars so stamina is unlikely to be a problem. But he'll need to be useful to prevent SUPERYACHT going one better than when second over course and distance last month as Sir Michael Stoute's colt rallied strongly once headed and was only beaten a neck – he holds Kaatskill Nap on that run.
