        Verdict

        Godolphin's Pinson could be of interest on his reappearance but Kerrin McEvoy prefers Satchem and that is good enough for us so he looks the one to beat with Road To Love rated the best of the remainder. The selection has done little wrong this term and a reproduction of the pick of this season's form should suffice in this field. Norse Dancer is capable but has not looked at his best in two starts since returning from Dubai although he has been highly tried. The 2,000 Guineas third Olympian Odyssey cannot be discounted but he would need to improve on the form shown at York last time to trouble the selection. With John Gosden's string in such good form, Iceman has to be respected but a bigger threat is likely to come from Mark Johnston's front runner Road To Love. Satchem has an obvious chance though and he is preferred.
