Verdict

Despite his penalty, it's hard to get away from TRAWLERMAN, who produced a high-class performance in his own right with no Kyprios in the line-up when gaining his Group-1 breakthrough in the Gold Cup at Ascot. That form sets him apart from these, with the slightly quirky but reliable stablemate Sweet William offered for forecast purposes.

  1. TRAWLERMAN (IRE)
  2. SWEET WILLIAM (IRE)
  3. AL QAREEM (IRE)
