Forecasts

Kyprios (2/5), Giavellotto (3/1), Vauban (8/1), Al Qareem (12/1), The Euphrates (40/1), Crypto Force (66/1), Waldadler (80/1), Nastaria (125/1)

Verdict

KYPRIOS looked as good as ever when regaining the Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup this summer and he can do the same here having won this 2 years ago (runner-up last year on belated comeback). Giavellotto has looked high-class this year and rates a serious opponent, with Lonsdale Cup winner Vauban the only other realistic threat.

  1. KYPRIOS (IRE)
