Nothing with compelling claims, but Nabah can be given another chance having been badly hampered in the early stages last time, and her form for Clive Brittain is more than good enough. Midnight Moon is a danger, having possibly needed the run last time whilst newcomer Glenleven wouldn't need to be anything special to feature on debut.
Maath Gool has been no match for Rutland Boy on either start this season, but there is no disgrace in that and he has obvious claims here. Enjoy Today is closely matched with the selection and can give him most to do, whilst Furnace could be hard to pass if allowed to dictate from stall 1.
A really tricky race and Profondo Rosso is only a speculative selection. He is proving consistent at present, and a reproduction of any of his last 3 efforts will see him involved. Hadba is unexposed and should have more to offer so will prove a threat along with Bin Shamardal, although that one does need to put a rare poor run behind him.
Cinderkamp comes with a bit of health warning given he can miss the break and does need plenty to go right, but he remains well enough handicapped to win and is worth chancing. Lord Tiger isn't dismissed lightly given he beat Rutland Boy 2 starts ago, whilst Celtic King won nicely here last time and can reach a place.
Tahaamah is sure to be popular in his bid to land back-to-back wins over C&D, but he is taken on with Sharaayeen, who can notch his second success of the campaign. Jutland, a winner at Abu Dhabi last time out, appeals best of the remainder.
Rutland Boy has left a lasting impression in winning his last 2 starts at this track, and despite a 15 lb higher mark he is fancied to land the hat-trick. The returning Samurai Sword may be the one to chase him home, whilst Markazzi is another likely contender if transferring his turf form to this surface.
