Forecasts
Trawlerman (5/6), Sweet William (5/2), Stay True (13/2), Al Qareem (7/1), Saratoga (66/1)
A cracking opportunity for Gold Cup winner TRAWLERMAN to cap off a stellar season and take this prize for a second time. Sweet William can complete a 1-2 for the stable. Al Qareem and Stay True might be found wanting for stamina when it matters, although Saratoga looks a promising stayer in the making and could outrun his odds.
