1 (4)	Trawlerman b William Buick · John & Thady Gosden	William Buick · John & Thady Gosden	134	h	23-511	121	129	118	64d	—	—	-19	37.8	5/6 55%
The one to beat, though the penalty and probably the 2m trip make it a bit more difficult
5 (1)	Sweet William b Robert Havlin · John & Thady Gosden	Robert Havlin · John & Thady Gosden	131	v	12-343	115	127	103	24d	—	—	+2	22.4	3/1 25%
Reverted to more patient tactics when third in the Goodwood Cup; should be on the premises
3 (5)	Al Qareem b Clifford Lee · K R Burke	Clifford Lee · K R Burke	131	—	-31211	114	126	102	41d	—	—	+31	42.4	6/1 14%
Front-runner who keeps pulling out more but shorter trips have appeared his ideal fit
2 (6)	Al Nayyir b Rossa Ryan · Tom Clover	Rossa Ryan · Tom Clover	131	p	5-5832	111	125	71	49d	—	—	+12	16.6	16/1 6%
So nearly sprung a surprise on stable debut in this race last year; more like it last time
4 (3)	Dubai Future b Kevin Stott · Saeed bin Suroor	Kevin Stott · Saeed bin Suroor	131	hp	/11936	114	127	107	24d	—	—	+20	24.2	20/1 5%
Showed far too much toe for his rivals in a steadily run Dubai Gold Cup; limitations since
6 (2)	Shackleton b Wayne Lordan · A P O'Brien	Wayne Lordan · A P O'Brien	120	p	3-4482	107	119	109	34d	—	—	+13	17.7	18/1 5%
May well stay but needs big improvement from today's new trip and/or first-time headgear
