BATTAASH has been very impressive this season, getting better with every start, and he produced a classy performance last time, putting the race to bed with a devastating turn of foot. Lady Aurelia would have a big chance if the ground dries out to anything like good-to-firm. Many of the others are held on recent form but there's a suspicion Marsha hasn't been quite at her best on recent starts and it would be no surprise if she was in the first three home.
