    Verdict

    Sir Michael Stoute won this a year ago with Gospel Choir, who beat Pether's Moon comfortably enough. The yard is represented by TELESCOPE here and the five-year-old, who followed Australia and The Grey Gatsby home in the Juddmonte at York, should ensure Pether's Moon comes up short again even though Richard Hannon's charge won three times subsequently, all over this trip and on varying ground. But he does have a Group 2 penalty for his victory in Turkey. Second Step also won three times last term and has any amount of scope. He ended the campaign with a Listed success at the Curragh and shouldn't be long in scoring in Group company. James Given won this with Dandino in 2011 but Odeon doesn't look in his class.
