With the withdrawal in midweek of Gold Cup winner Sizing John, there may have been a little edge taken off this year's renewal, but there is still a fine race in prospect. Cue Card would be a hugely popular record-equalling winner and although he came back from an under-par first effort to win this last year, another fall at Wetherby last time was not ideal and has prompted a change of pilot. Bristol De Mai was very impressive that day and this may turn out to be his Gold Cup, but he will be plenty short enough and the suggestion with not much to find on the ratings is OUTLANDER. Back to form last time in Ireland, he also goes on the ground and can lift his first Grade 1 on these shores. Tea For Two can also go very well, while if there is a shock then Traffic Fluide may be the one to provide it.
