        Verdict

        Mythical Blue has been well-backed when winning his last two and whilst likely to be high on many a shortlist, he didn't win with much in hand last time and on the softest ground he has faced to date we will take him on with MAJUBA ahead of Sir Geoffrey and Lucky Art. The selection is very consistent and comes here on the back of a good second at the track. The first two were well clear on that occasion and as he handles any ground the feeling is that he won't be far away. Go Nani Go has been off for three months since finishing third to Senor Mirasol at Catterick. Apart from his latest run, the latter has franked that form to some extent and he must be of interest. Mary Mason and Lucky Art both won well last time and plenty of guesswork is involved regarding their Nursery handicap marks. Sir Geoffrey deserved his win at Redcar last time and may go on from there, however in a tight handicap we will stick with Majuba.
