One of Britain's most beloved stayers, Normandie Stud's homebred Sweet William (Sea The Stars) came good again on Friday to add his name to an illustrious list who have won the G2 Doncaster Cup more than once.

Left behind at the start, the 10-11 favourite was coaxed into contention by Robert Havlin and after moving to the three-year-old Pendragon (Camelot) approaching two out stormed clear for an emphatic 3 3/4-length success.

“These staying races are a whole lot of fun and he's a wonderful old horse,” John Gosden said.

“He answered the call–he's been running into Trawlerman and Kyprios and that's tough–but Philippa [Cooper] says that's it for the season and we'll hopefully be back this time next year.”
