Formscan - TRAWLERMAN arrives on the back of wins in the Henry II at Sandown and the Gold Cup at Ascot by seven lengths from the classy Illinois. Despite carrying a Group 1 penalty for the latter success, the former Ebor hero should prove a tough nut to crack once again. Shackleton gets a stone from his older rival as a three-year-old and the Irish Derby eighth has to be of interest at these weights, while Al Qareem is hard to ignore in his hunt for a hat-trick on the Knavesmire.
