    Verdict

    Constantino ran poorly at Newmarket last time but better is expected back on the all-weather while Mythical Madness is back on a winning mark. Pearl Spectre and Able Jack arrive in good form but both have something to prove in this higher grade though the returning pair Seniority and War Glory are perfectly at home at this level with the former preferred. CHIEFOFCHIEFS (NAP) was fancied in the betting at Newmarket on his return to action and ran well enough in fourth. He won a tougher race than this at York last year and Charlie Fellowes’ charge should go close again with a similar effort today.
