The form of the Stratford novice in which MYTHICAL MOON made a winning start over hurdles is working out well and he did his reputation no harm at all when third in what looked a pretty good contest at Exeter next time. He shades preference ahead of Meetmebythesea, who made it 2-2 in this sphere when downing the long odds-on The Kemble Brewery at Ludlow and he should have more to offer. Point-winner Top Guy is also entitled to respect.
