Michael Stoute has an astounding recent record in this contest and DARTMOUTH will be hard to beat if he improves at all from his York run on first start of 2017. Idaho should come on for his latest run at Epsom and will enjoy a decent pace to aim at. If there's any rain then My Dream Boat would need considering if the first-time headgear has the desired effect.
