      Verdict

      Mythical Madness finished in front of Michele Strogoff when beaten a couple of lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton last time though that was over a mile and the latter re-opposes on better terms. Hugo Palmer’s yard has been among the winners lately including last week’s convincing course and distance success for EL GHAZWANI. The four-year-old was wearing a tongue-tie for the first time on that occasion and can continue winning ways with further progress expected. Juneau won four times last year but has something to prove in this higher grade as does Sweet Charity, who also returns to action.
