Formscan - COLTRANE returns to defend his crown having enjoyed a fine spell during last summer with a fine runner-up display in the Gold Cup and victory in the Lonsdale Cup at York. His form tailed off at the back end of last season and, while disappointing on his return in the Dubai Gold Cup at Meydan, the seven-year-old is more than capable of bouncing back, especially in first-time cheekpieces. Last year's Goodwood Cup hero Quickthorn is sure to be on the front end and is respected along with Trueshan.
