FURTHUR was smart as a 3-y-o and could prove a force in cup races this year given how he shaped on his comeback at York. The consistent Sweet William is an obvious threat having defied a penalty in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on his reappearance, while Lazy Griff is a very interesting contender stepping up in distance on his belated return.
