Sweet William

9st 7lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Has had headgear and Rab Havlin for all starts; second to Trueshan in this race last year marked his emergence as a Cup horse; produced late with the first-time visor (kept since) over 2m at Sandown in May to win his first Group race and he's shown even better form since in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and Goodwood Cup (head in front of Gregory); good chance.

9st 12lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Sported headgear from the outset (also ridden by Rab Havlin all starts); won a handicap at this meeting last year on his way through the ranks; produced late with the first-time visor (kept since) over 2m at Sandown in May to win his first Group race and he did well to run on into third from well off the pace in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) next time, albeit 6l behind Kyprios; this race might pan out a bit more favourably.

9st 4lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Probably acts on any going; sported headgear from the outset (also ridden by Rab Havlin all starts); gave Trueshan plenty to think about in the Doncaster Cup (2m2f, soft) last term in his first Group race; finished on the heels of Coltrane and Caius Chorister here on reappearance and narrowly turned the tables on the latter rival when produced late with the first-time visor at Sandown in another Group 3 four weeks ago; has a solid record but needs to find a bit extra.
