7/4
Looked unlucky not to win when neck third of 9 to Legacy Power at Kempton last time, needing stronger gallop but finishing well. Never been the most reliable, but hails from in-form yard and drops back down in grade here.

11/1, won 10-runner handicap at this course (12.4f) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can give another good account from 3 lb higher mark.

Stopped the slide when second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 12/1) 47 days ago. Potentially well handicapped but could do with cutting out slow starts.

10/3
Produced a career best in first-time blinkers when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 27 days ago, driven clear. Well treated in this sphere compared to his fairly useful hurdles form and he should go close.

C&D winner. Winner here in January. 13/8, good second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 27 days ago, clear of rest. Can make presence felt.

Out of sorts since early last year, faring no better in first-time blinkers when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Twenty four runs since sole win in 2017. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) 76 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. Very hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Abraaj (7/4), Zephlyn (2/1), Ney (10/3), Yakhabar (17/2), Alchemystique (12/1), Mille Miglia (25/1), Misscarlett (125/1), Princess Nieve (125/1)

Verdict

ABRAAJ was beaten only narrowly despite being unfavoured by the run of the race at Kempton last time and he's fancied to make amends here, though the presence of the potentially well-treated Ney should mean the selection has plenty to think about. Zephlyn backed up January's C&D success with a sound effort at Southwell and can complete the placings.
