In depth
Verdict
Mythmaker finished ahead of Zac Brown at Lingfield before scoring over track and trip last month. He makes more appeal than Bosham, who has already won three times over the minimum trip here this year. The latter is penalised for last week's victory and Nuno Tristan is upped 6lb after landing a double in lower grade sprints with a victory at Wolverhampton last time. Elis Eliz and Searchlight have both been beaten off today's marks since winning at Kempton earlier while SPICY JAM found 7f too far here last time. But Marco Botti's filly drops in class for this and back over 6f with Andrea Atzeni on board, she gets the nod.
