        Verdict

        Mike De Kock's horses haven't really got going but Marinaresco, a Grade 1 winner in South Africa, will be better for his run in a similar race to this last month and he can prove better than stable companion Janoobi, who won this last year but has been out of form, as has the 2017 winner Championship. Century Dream is undoubtedly the form pick on his close third to Roaring Lion in the QE II at Ascot though he's invariably needed his first run back and has a bigger target so may not be quite ready after a break. MYTHICAL MAGIC has a few pounds to find on official ratings but has the advantage of a recent run when staying on strongly over 7f. He's capable of better and gets the vote and he holds the Australian Group 1 winner Comin' Through on that latest run though the latter had been mixing it with the best in his native country. Wootton, a new stable companion of the selection, ran a cracking race when third in the St James's Palace Stakes and has a very good record fresh.
