Oman
Four-time turf winner and his last success was off 1lb higher at York (1m2f) last autumn; 0-7 on AW but he finished well to snatch second here (8.6f) on his penultimate run and was a respectable fifth over 1m4f last time; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous if he gets the breaks.

No win in her first 21 starts but she was promoted to first in a C&D handicap (got hampered by favourite) 12 days ago; up 4lb but she remains well treated on old form and is still unexposed on Tapeta; respected.

Masqool
11-time AW winner including two over C&D; only 2lb higher than for his Chelmsford win (1m2f) in August but he's been well held in last three runs and needs to rediscover his spark.

Ciotog
Scored off 5lb higher here (8.6f) in January but he's 0-10 since and has been out of sorts since returning from a break in October; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival back at this track.

Pessoa
All of his six wins have come at this track (7f/8.6f); last success was in June but that was off 3lb lower and he's not matched that form in three runs since; needs to raise his game and this looks tough from wide draw.

Prince Ali
All six wins have been on Tapeta and latest was over C&D in March; now 2lb lower than for that win but he's been well held in last four runs and needs to get back on track.

Breakwater
Unexposed 4yo but he's not progressed so far and was last of 12 in a Newcastle handicap (1m, Tapeta) on his final run last winter; has something to prove after a lengthy absence and he's drawn out wide; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Hawaiian King
Well held in both runs for Charlie Hills and he returned after wind/gelding operations with a remote eighth on stable debut at Southwell (1m3f) last month; still early days and now switches to a handicap but he needs a transformation back in trip.

Magic Runner
Got off the mark at the 15th attempt with a last-gasp win over C&D 12 days ago; up 3lb but her confidence should be boosted after that success and she was the only one to come out of the pack to challenge; big player.

Verona Star
Ended last year with a win at this track (7f) but he's had only two runs since and they ended with heavy defeats here (8.6f/9.4f) last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs a big turnaround.

Naughty Niall
Two wins this year, with first on turf at Yarmouth in July (1m2f) and latest by a short-head in a slowly run race here (1m4f) last month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't really fire at Southwell (1m3f) last time and needs to step up again after that; tongue-tie reapplied.

Four-time winner who scored at Beverley in September and has finished runner-up on turf (1m2f) and Tapeta (1m) in his last two starts; up another 1lb but has has a progressive profile and should be in the thick of things again.
