ULYSSES is entered in the Dante and Derby and was not beaten far despite finishing only sixth at Newbury in October. Sir Michael Stoute's colt is preferred to stablemates Yangtze and Autocratic though Imperial Aviator, rated 83 after three placed efforts last year, looks a bigger threat. Lake Placid is a likely improver but 650,000gns purchase Uae Prince is another entered in both the Dante and Derby and makes more appeal than Wishpoint of the newcomers.
