Verdict

Mythologic looks best of the two Aidan O’Brien runners at the top of the weights while Down Royal fourth Calidus Mirabilis looks the pick of Joseph O’Brien’s trio, though has ground to make up on Myrcella. GUNMETAL JACK was only headed close home in a Tipperary claimer last month. The winner and fifth run in the opener today so punters will get a good guide to his chances in a very ordinary nursery. Shines Her Light also goes on the short-list with Kenshibu another to consider in first-time cheekpieces.
