Verdict

This trip represents a stiff test for two-year-olds at this time of year but Zymyran was doing his best work at the finish over 7f at Wolverhampton and a mile should also suit the steadily-improving Star Of The East, though Oceanus will need to settle better than he did last time at Sandown. PIONEERING is a half-brother to a winning stayer so stamina shouldn't be an issue and he can give Godolphin a third win in this race in the last four years.
