Verdict
Schapiro was most impressive at Newbury last time and can follow up today at the expense of Magico and Lord Joshua. Jonjo O'Neill's four-year-old, like the rest of the yard, had gone through the doldrums before easily beating Son Of Greek Myth in quite a decent event. There should be plenty more to come from this decent flat performer and a double looks on the cards. Magico makes a quick return to the track having chased home the impressive Mr Mischief at Wetherby on Thursday. He looks on a very fair mark and should be involved in the finish. Lord Joshua had been off the track for three years before his run at Wincanton in January. He has had another couple of outings and has shown improvement. He could be spot on for this and may go well at a decent price. Lord Lington looks the pick of the remainder, but Schapiro is hard to oppose in this mood and can make it back to back victories.
