Despite the rain, it will come as a big surprise if BATTAASH doesn’t rack up a fifth win in succession on a track tailor-made for him. He has won on soft and there was no disgrace in finishing fourth in Ascot’s King’s Stand Stakes on his return given he helped force a strong pace and underwent joint surgery over the winter. July Cup 2nd Dragon Symbol and mud-loving Art Power can follow him home.
