Landed Ascot's Sagaro Stakes for second successive season in May but below par since in Gold Cup there and Goodwood Cup. Took this event in 2022 though so he can't be discounted.

Has yet to add to his three wins of 2023 but he comes here in good nick, third in Goodwood Cup and Lonsdale Cup at York on his last two outings. Smart and in the mix once more.

Resumed winning ways in Ormonde Stakes at Chester in May and not disgraced since when third in Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud and fifth in Lonsdale Cup at York. Needs considering.

Made into a smart stayer in 2023 and he has improved again this term. Landed Henry II Stakes at Sandown in May and has posted very good placed efforts subsequently behind Kyprios in Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup. This course winner holds leading claims.

One of the leading stayers of recent years and resumed winning ways in Sandown Listed event in July. Not discredited when fourth in Goodwood Cup at Goodwood last time and captured this 12 months ago so not taken lightly.

Useful gelding but he's without a win since spring 2023. Faced a stiff task when 16th in the Ebor at York last ime and this is a tough ask too.

Little between the principals on form but the likeable SWEET WILLIAM has no Kyprios to contend with this time so is fancied to resume winning ways after very good efforts in the Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup. In-form stablemate Gregory could emerge as the main danger, although past winners Trueshan and Coltrane both need consiering too in a fascinating Doncaster Cup.
