Formscan  - The globetrotting Rebel's Romance has only tasted defeat once on these shores - in last year's King George - and he ought to go very close if seeing out the trip. With stamina proven, though, SWEET WILLIAM is taken to come out on top. Last seen chasing home outstanding stayer Kyprios in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot on Champions Day, the Gosdens' gelding can pick up where he left off to set up a tilt at the Gold Cup. Continuous is a class act on his day and first-time blinkers could give him an added boost.
