There's seemingly not a lot of strength in depth in this contest and it's hard to envisage BATTAASH getting beat in his bid for a third straight renewal of this race having looked as good as ever in two starts this year. Course and distance winner El Astronaute ought to hit the frame with a repeat of his latest form while Big Brothers Pride gets all the allowances and is an interesting contender from France with a less exposed profile than her rivals.
