      Verdict

      SWEET WILLIAM is conceding plenty of weight to the younger horses on his reappearance but went close behind a winner rated 84 at Ascot back in September. Gelded since then, the Gosdens’ charge may edge this. Banderas also returns to action having debuted in a decent maiden at Newcastle while Al Asmakh and Saint George have recent runs under their belts as both step up in trip. Allo Al Khawaneej is related to the smart Group 2 winner Delegator and is an early Derby entry.
