    Verdict

    MOJO STAR has frightened the opposition away which is hardly surprising given his brilliant second in the Derby at Epsom and a decent run in the Irish version at the Curragh. He'll be at unbackable odds and Auriferous should follow him home. Andrew Balding's charge has been placed in all five starts this campaign on a variety of surfaces and should be winning soon. Girandole was beaten 33 lengths at Salisbury while the newcomer Alice Kazeem will earn a prize for a run around.
