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.

‘Once you start slipping' – Former world darts champion Michael Smith handed brutal reality check as he bids to return
Smith, 34, opened up about his condition earlier this year MIKE DROP 'Once you start slipping' – Former world darts champion Michael Smith handed brutal reality check as he bids to return Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MICHAEL SMITH has been told "the tour waits for no one" by Dutch star Vincent van der Voort. The former world champion, 34, opened up on his battle with arthritis earlier this year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Michael Smith has opened up on his arthritis Credit: Rex 3 Vincent van der Voort had his say on Smith's struggles Credit: Getty Smith, who triumphed at Ally Pally in 2023, has been struggling with the condition in his throwing hand. Bully Boy lost his place in this year's Premier League, while he has also fallen out of the world's top 20. Last month Smith even failed to qualify for the World Matchplay in Blackpool. And he was recently forced to undergo blood tests amid ongoing health issues. READ MORE IN SPORT LUKE OUT 'It's not fun anymore' - Littler told to retire after Australian Darts Masters Dutch darts stars Jermaine Wattimena, Vincent van der Voort and Damian Vlottes discussed Bully Boy's struggles on the Darts drait door podcast. Having discussed Wattimena's struggles, the 37-year-old previously lost his tour card, the team moved on to Smith's situation, with the world No26 saying: "That's just really sad." Former World Championship quarter-finalist Van der Voort added: "It's incredible how quickly things can go wrong. He's a world-class talent, but now it's about how he manages this." The 49-year-old continued: "The Tour waits for no one.

Speaking with empathy, Wattimena said: "I've been there. You're throwing 100 averages and still losing. Michael Smith admits health condition 'keeps getting worse' and left darts star with no choice but to seek help "You look at the board thinking, 'What more do I have to do?' It gets frustrating." Smith opened up about his condition while speaking to Sky Sports in February. Bully Boy said: "I've had it for a few years now. It was always when it was winter so I thought it was just the cold affecting it. "But it just keeps getting worse and worse. My wrist will start swelling up and the constant pain where I can't bend it so it is getting a bit difficult." Quizzed if he ever suspected that his problems stemmed from arthritis, he said: "It was there because I broke both my wrists when I was 19 so it was going to catch up with me eventually. I think it has now."
