Formscan - One of the great stayers, Kyprios hasn't looked back since being defeated by TRAWLERMAN in this 12 months ago. Now an eight-time Group 1 winner following his second success in the Prix du Cadran a fortnight ago, the top-class son of Galileo attempts to round off a hitherto perfect season in style. It's been a long campaign, though, and Trawlerman could exploit any chinks in his armour. The Gosdens' six-year-old has been kept fresh since chasing home Aidan O'Brien's star in the Gold Cup here in June, but he has often come alive at this time of year and it would come as no surprise to see him mount a bold title defence. Al Nayyir impressed in Listed company at Newmarket recently and is no forlorn hope, while Doncaster Cup hero Sweet William looks destined for a minor role.
