It's very hard to oppose BATTAASH who ran a tremendous race despite getting beaten in the King's Stand. He bolted up in this race last year, and should stage a repeat. Havana Grey is another to have won over 5f at this meeting 12 months ago, and belatedly built on his smart juvenile form when winning at the Curragh last time; he rates the main danger, with July Cup fifth Sioux Nation best of the others on balance of form.
