In depth
Verdict
MOUNT OLYMPUS has won three of his last four outings including a victory over course and distance. He finished well ahead of a below par Eagle One at Goodwood last time and looks worth sticking with. Ithaca's Arrow has been in better form back over 1m2f and is preferred to the maiden winner Bohemian Breeze while Barrier and Glorious Lion were both fitted with cheekpieces last time and placed over 1m2f on their handicap debuts. Morlaix is not out of this either.
