Lots with chances. MYTHICAL COMPOSER appeals as the sort to go on improving in 2025 so Clive Cox's son of Sergei Prokofiev looks the way to go. Kevin Ryan has his string in good nick and his impressive course scorer Hammer The Hammer is feared most. Scatter Penny and Fan Mail can also have a say in this competitive handicap.
