In depth
Verdict
Mystic Forest showed improvement for the step up in trip when coming late to land a course and distance handicap late last month. Brian Meehan's charge is unexposed at this distance and is just 3lb higher so must give another good account. Defining is unproven over this trip but is lightly raced and fairly treated on his course win last month while Port Moresby was disappointing last time but is falling down the handicap and, along with Royal Prodigy, can't be ruled out.
