Verdict
Mythical Madness just got the better of Big Kitten at Chelmsford and that pair are hard to separate while Abe Lincoln had a tough task in Listed company last time and finished well behind fifth-placed Uae Prince in last year’s Cambridgeshire. The latter looks high enough in the weights on a third here in October while better was expected from Lucius Tiberius in this grade at Epsom last month. Grandee has been raised 9lb for an easy success at Newcastle but MISTIROC can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Doncaster on his reappearance and Silvestre De Sousa’s presence suggests a bold bid is expected.
