Al Muqdad

J: Daniel Tudhope
T: David O'Meara
F: 5-6736063

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 6lbs
Or: 68

C&D winner who was back in a 0-70 for the first time since last winter's Newcastle success when third behind a thriving sort at Ayr last time, and he makes plenty of appeal with Daniel Tudhope returning.

Enpassant (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 66

Suited by a well-run 7f when notching a second all-weather success of the year at Lingfield last time. Pace set-up perhaps less favourable on this occasion, though he's still handicapped to be competitive off 3 lb higher on return to turf.

Bella Bisbee

J: Christian Howarth
T: Scott Dixon
F: 52156431

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 11lbs
Or: 73

Returned to her best with a straightforward success under this apprentice over C&D 12 days ago and while she may again be well positioned close to the pace, a 5 lb penalty probably leaves her vulnerable.

Beale Street

J: Paul Mulrennan
T: Bryan Smart
F: 0-7210102

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 70

5-time winner at Newcastle who ran as well as he has on turf (0-13) when runner-up in a solid handicap for the grade over C&D last time. Remains 11 lb below his all-weather mark, however, this race isn't guaranteed to suit his come-from-behind style.

Shazani (Fr)

J: Alistair Rawlinson
T: Roy Bowring
F: 020-06752

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 67

Doubled his tally in a classified stakes over 1m here prior to finishing second in a better C&D handicap last October and having produced his best effort of this season when runner-up off a career-low mark over C&D last time, he's a danger if allowed to dominate.

Al Hofzan (Ire)

J: Darragh Keenan
T: Georgina Nicholls
F: 3-3042354

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 66

Maiden who shaped better than the result when a close fourth at Leicester last time, having been bumped early/squeezed out late on. That form has merit and while no guarantee of such a well-run race here, he's still worth siding with given his unexposed profile on turf. Tongue strap on first time.

Magic Music

J: Luke Catton
T: Steph Hollinshead
F: 6366-931

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 67

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who finished third in a similar event here before justifying support to get off the mark over C&D last time (always holding on). She's back in a slightly better race, however, it's hard to rule out further progress given her low mileage.

Timeform Verdict

A tight handicap but the vote goes to AL HOFZAN, who shaped like a winner in waiting at Leicester last time. Al Muqdad has a good record here and in this grade, he's feared most, while Shazani could go close if allowed another easy lead.

Betting Forecast

7/2 Al Muqdad, 11/2 Enpassant (Ire), 8/1 Bella Bisbee, 11/2 Beale Street, 7/1 Shazani (Fr), 7/1 Al Hofzan (Ire), 5/1 Magic Music
