A very good line-up for this Group 2 event and it can go to Sublimity ahead of Indian Haven, Norse Dancer and Soviet Song. The selection is not the obvious choice but he has the scope make up into a Group performer this year, is in the right hands with Sir Michael Stoute and comes here fit following an impressive win from Gateman, who has gone on to score since, at Doncaster on his seasonal return. He will not have it all his own way though as the 1,000 Guineas' fourth and Coronation Stakes runner-up, Soviet Song, will strip fitter for her slightly disappointing Kempton return; Norse Dancer - third in last year's 2,000 Guineas and fourth in the Derby ¿ should also go well, as should the Irish 2,000 winner Indian Haven. They all hold very strong claims in a very good event. The others need to improve to feature against these classy performers, and the one that we are going to pin our colours to is Sublimity.
