In depth
Formwatch
Battle Line Showed little on previous starts and faces a tough task here.
Grand Harbour (IRE) Grand Lodge colt with no fancy entries and stable's juveniles usually better for a run; best watched.
Misty Dancer Ran better than expected on debut at Sandown but more required here.
Ocean Avenue (IRE) Makes little appeal on bredding and likely to struggle here.
Privilege (USA) Foxhound colt who has been absent since beaten favourite on debut at Chepstow in July; wears visor for first time and has something to prove.
Simeon Has shaped like future winner on two previous starts and will be suited by the trip; will be hard to beat.
