On official figures Dartmouth is very much the one to beat. He didn't finish outside the first three in six starts last season, including twice in Group 1 company, and he has won over nearly as far as today's 1m6f.

He has also won on ground with some ease in it, but the combination of that and the trip might just stretch him.
