OCEAN MYTH certainly wasn't stopping when getting off the mark over 5f at Beverley at the start of the month. He'll have no problem with this extra furlong and looks to have been let in lightly in his first nursery. The danger may be Faraway, who won a seller at Haydock on his penultimate start and wasn't disgraced in a better race at Ascot last Saturday. Musical Valley didn't get much of a run at Chester a week ago, while Solfilia may do better now tackling handicaps but Always Ends Well doesn't appear to be progressing.
