MYTHICAL BAY matched his previous best when off the mark at the fourth attempt in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in January. Gelded subsequently and expected to progress further now handicapping over this longer trip, he shades preference over the hat-trick seeking Moment of Light who remains with untapped potential over middle distances. Galilean Quality and Parisian Scholar are others to consider in a competitive finale.
