        Verdict

        Aidan O’Brien has won the last two renewals and Mythical, by Camelot out of a Cape Cross mare, will be fancied to complete the hat-trick, though his half-brother Johan Strauss was best up to a mile. The Ballydoyle colt routed modest opposition at Gowran but the form has yet to be franked. Goodwood winner Volkan Star bids to give Godolphin a first win in this since 2012 but a case can also be made for the unbeaten Miss Yoda – her yard won this with the filly Coronet in 2016. The progressive Tritonic outstayed Man Of The Night and hot favourite Cape Palace in a conditions race at Newbury last month and he’s preferred to the Mark Johnston pair but we’ll take a chance on MAX VEGA who, having just failed to overhaul the well-regarded Kenzai Warrior at Salisbury, easily landed the odds at Pontefract and looks to have stamina in abundance.
