Formscan  - SWEET WILLIAM has held sway over Trueshan in their last two encounters and his younger legs may again be the most telling factor as the pair renew rivalries for the fourth time, especially as the latter has a 7lb Group 1 penalty for last September's success in the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp. Caius Chorister, who was ahead of her two main rivals when runner-up in the Sagaro, also picks up a 3lb penalty for a French Group 3 win last autumn and may struggle to uphold the Ascot form now the selection has the benefit of a run under his belt.
