Verdict
Mythology has been staying on strongly in both starts over 6f here, the latest a Group 2, so today's trip looks ideal. He's owned mainly by Coolmore, as are Master Of The Hunt and Henry Longfellow. The former is a 230,000gns No Nay Never colt and a half-brother to a winner over this trip while the latter is by Dubawi out of the brilliant Minding. Versatile cost €235,000 and is by Siyouni out of a mare from a very smart family. OCEAN CONQUEST went for 200,000gns at the Guineas Breeze-up so must have been mightily impressive and gets the vote.
