      Verdict

      Son Of Greek Myth has shown abundance of ability in both starts to date and is taken to open his account while Arkholme and Sharaab rate the main dangers. John Gosden's charge made an eye-catching debut when a staying-on second behind a smart rival at Newmarket last month and was then far from disgraced when third behind a well-regarded type in a conditions event at Salisbury. The son of Silver Hawk takes a drop in grade here and can confirm Newmarket placings with Sharaab on identical terms. Arkholme shaped with promise when fourth on his debut at Beverley but has been absent for two months so it would be no surprise if Mark Johnston's newcomer Asiatic, who makes plenty of appeal on breeding, proved capable of going close but Son Of Greek Myth sets the standard and should be hard to beat.
