MITHRAS had excuses last time and it's worth remembering the good impression he made when taking a big-field 7f Newbury handicap on his return. He's worth a chance to resume winning ways in what should be a typically competitive Britannia. A case can be made for a number of his rivals, but Aerion Power and Raadobarg, both bidding for a four-timer, look the most dangerous.
