SIR WILLIAM was well suited by the strong pace when opening his account over this trip at Windsor 24 days ago and, leaving the impression we've yet to see all he has to offer, William Haggas' charge may well be capable of following up from this 4 lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out winner Masterinthewoods rates a live danger, with Wolfpack and Minhad another pair to consider in this competitive finale.
