Lots with chances. POTTERMAN won the bet365 Gold Cup in the stewards' room but Alan King's likeable stayer can take this handicap of his own accord nudged up just 1 lb for that cracking effort after a break. Mellow Ben has proved expensive to follow but lurks on a good mark so is feared most with Tommy Rapper another who is weighted to have a say.
