Verdict

MYTHICAL BAY sets a clear standard on the form of his second here last month and should get off the mark. Kindly Queen is bred to come into her own over middle distances but offered something to work on on debut and can pose the biggest threat, with Felix Gem also open to improvement upped in trip.
