Mythical Madness scored at Windsor on his reappearance and is up 6lb. But LONDON CITIZEN can race off the same mark as when fourth over track and trip earlier this month, his first start since 2013. He failed to get a clear run on that occasion and looks set to go close in this. Sea The Skies was also having his first start since 2013 when scoring at Leicester and there should be more to come from him but Squire will find this tougher after winning a Class 5 event over course and distance. Captain Morley went close at Windsor on his latest start and is another to consider along with last year's winner at Ascot, Forgotten Hero.
