ULYSEES landed a gamble in comfortable fashion at Stratford on Thursday and it’s unlikely a penalty will halt him in this. Rococo Style beat Oksana over a shorter trip here in June and also appears on an upward curve but may not have the potential of the selection. Yorbelucky was having only his third start when second over course and distance last month but never looked like threatening the odds-on winner and looks to have plenty of weights. Musical Stardust is in decent form and looks best of the rest.
