OCEANLINE has leading claims on recent efforts having beaten all three of today’s rivals already this month. He finished clear of both King's Advice and General Zoff when runner-up at Wolverhampton and missed out by only a head over track and trip last time with Imperium back in third. The latter looks the main danger with cheekpieces fitted for this but Alan King’s charge should have enough in hand to come out best once again.
