Race Tip

A winner of all six outings this season champion stayer KYPRIOS (5) can make amends for defeat twelve months ago and follow up his commanding success in the 2m4f G1 Prix Du Cadran at Longchamp. TRAWLERMAN (7) got the better of the main selection in this last year. Was held by him when last seen in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup during June and representing John and Thady Gosden remains the main threat. Stablemate Set Weights EET WILLIAM (6) posted a career-best to win the G2 Doncaster Cup over 2m2f and must be taken seriously. Following an emphatic victory in the Listed Jockey Club Rose Bowl at Newmarket (Rowley) AL NAYYIR (1) cannot be ruled out from an each-way perspective back up in grade.
