Verdict

Modern News ran well in the Diomed at Epsom last time but is penalised for an earlier Listed success over track and trip and MY OBERON (NAP) can take advantage. The latter won at the All-Weather Championships back in April having ran a big race behind Lord North at Meydan earlier and the Haggas charge is weighted to beat the remaining pair Tyrrhenian Sea and Perotto.
