oddschecker Verdict
LIMESTONE's defeat in the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp is only a slight blot on his otherwise unblemished record this season. The son of New Bay is a strong candidate to bounce back, dropping from a Group 1 for a first appearance in a handicap. Andrew Balding's good record in this race, combined with how results have panned out for the stable this week, suggest Mythical Bay is dangerous to underestimate. However, Infraad and Into The Light boast stronger credentials at this stage and are are championed as bigger threats to the Joseph O'Brien-trained hopeful, in that order of preference.
Prediction: 1st Limestone, 2nd Infraad, 3rd Into The Light
