TRUESHAN (3.15, Nap) can shake off a shock first time out defeat to get his Gold Cup challenge under way at Ascot today.
The top stayer endured a frustrating summer last year when firm ground led to him missing Royal Ascot and York but conditions will be ideal in the Group 3 Sagaro Stakes.
On his return to action at Nottingham he was beaten half a length at odds of 4-9 by Rajinsky in a Listed contest.
