        Verdict

        The vote here goes to Olympian Odyssey, with maybe his biggest dangers coming in the shape of Delorain, Dodgem, Hopeful Purchase, Lennoxtown and Mussorgsky. This represents a chance for Olympian Odyssey to earn some winning brackets. He has shown up well in being placed in each of his starts to date and, given his breeding, he could well improve on today's going. A 40,000 guineas son of Kalanisi, Delorain attracts some interest, as, of course, does the $950,000 Godolphin runner, Dodgem. Another to consider is the 100,000 guineas son of Grand Lodge, Hopeful Purchase, while, being a son of Selkirk, Lennoxtown, who cost 180,000 euros, should go on the ground. Sir Michael Stoute's Mussorgsky is another to consider, while the others, including Spaceman, who is a half-brother to Puce, have something to prove, we feel. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Olympian Odyssey.
