Forecasts

Sweet William (10/11), Pendragon (9/2), Sunway (6/1), Hipop De Loire (9/1), Coltrane (14/1), Kyle Of Lochalsh (18/1), Oxford Comma (33/1), Tashkhan (66/1)

Verdict

SWEET WILLIAM found only Trawlerman too strong in York's Lonsdale Cup last time and, with his stablemate absent here, is fancied to repeat his success in this event 12 months ago. Willie Mullins' Ebor sixth Hipop de Loire could emerge as the main danger with this return to 2m a positive, although in-form trio Sunway, Coltrane and Pendragon all need factoring in too in an intriguing Doncaster Cup.
