Four wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in December. Found the hat-trick beyond him when ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/1) 10 days ago. Can give a good account back down in class.

C&D winner. Built on promise of recent stable debut to resume winning ways at Lingfield (7f, AW, 7/2) 11 days ago. Heading back in the right direction now so high on the shortlist.

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/1) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago, looking to be going nowhere over 1f out but picking up really well late on. Back up in trip which should suit. Makes polytrack debut.

Useful form. Probably needed the run after 8 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 11 days ago.

Possibly not straightforward but won at Nottingham in August. 2/1, first run since leaving Roger Varian when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Makes polytrack debut. 3 lb out of the handicap.

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Down Royal (5f, soft, 9/4). Off 103 days. Makes AW debut. Sold from John Patrick Murtagh 27,000 gns in October. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Latest win at Lingfield in December. Just a respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 2/1) 7 days ago, a busy spell perhaps catching up with him.
Timeform Verdict 
BATAL DUBAI has made a positive start for new connections and remains potentially well treated after a 2 lb rise for his narrow success at Lingfield. We Never Stop has thrived on the AW of late and is next best ahead of Amazonian Dream, who is back down in class.
