SWEET WILLIAM (3.45 York, nap)
He will be delighted there’s no Kyprios in the line-up as he chased home the staying superstar a couple of times last season. The Gosden runner had his own days in the sun too when winning the Henry II Stakes at Sandown and the Doncaster Cup. He ended his campaign with another excellent effort behind Kyprios in Ascot’s Long Distance Cup. We know he has lots of staying power and he gets on well with regular rider Rab Havlin who can use all his experience in what could be a tactical race. Rebel’s Romance has been well backed but he’s going beyond 1m4f for the first time at this late stage of his career which has to be a worry. St Leger winner Continuous may be a bigger threat while Aidan O’Brien is in such sizzling form.
GLITTERING SURF (3.13 York, nb)
She has won her two lifetime starts without breaking sweat on the all-weather and can keep that run going on turf for in-form trainer Owen Burrows. He is running at almost 50 per cent winners this season. This mile trip is ideal and there should be a lot more in the locker with fast ground highly likely to suit.
ROYAL APPROVAL (2.25 Newbury, treble)
This son of Cracksman showed some promising signs on his turf return at Doncaster last time out. He sees out this 1m2f stronly and has had a little nudge down the weights. He looks massively overpriced and it would no shock to see him make the frame at least.
