      Verdict

      MASTER OF THE SEAS won the Group 2 Superlative here as a juvenile and had a fine second campaign with a victory in the Craven Stakes here the highlight. He was beaten a short-head in the 2000 Guineas and just over a length in a Group 2 here in September so looks the one to beat. Catch Twentytwo is rated just 1lb below after narrow defeats in Group 2 company in South Africa but this looks a tough start. Megallan couldn't handle soft ground at Longchamp after landing a Salisbury Group 3 and should have conditions to suit while Bell Rock has won first-time-out on this course in all three seasons he's raced. Chichester and Father Of Jazz were separated by a neck when occupying the minor spots in Kempton's Magnolia Stakes last month.
