'Chester specialist who has been well beaten on both starts in Bahrain; best watched'

'Decent strike-rate and comes here in decent form on back of a C&D second and a 5f win'

'Yet to win a handicap and, although creditable effort last time, needs to raise game again'

'Won this race following a layoff a year ago and is interesting on first start since March'

'Shaped with much more encouragement over 5f last time and not without a chance'

'Won two of first three starts in Bahrain; below best following absence over C&D last time'

'Bolted up over C&D last time but 13lb rise in a stronger race demands a fair bit more'

'Ordinary strike rate but respectable run here in December and the return to 6f should suit'

'Debut winner for Simon Crisford who has won four times in Bahrain; well beaten last time'

'Below form so far in Bahrain; not sure to reverse latest placings with Nomadic Empire'

'Prolific winner in Bahrain; ran well over 5f here last time and another with prospects'

'Multiple winner in GB/IRE but yet to get near best form in five outings in Bahrain'

'Hasn't been at best in Bahrain so far this winter and may find one or two good good again'

'Won four times over this trip for Richard Hannon but yet to match that form in Bahrain'

'Best form would give him a good chance but hasn't always been the easiest to predict'

'Has won four times in Bahrain but not at best so far this season and plenty to prove'

'5f-6f winner in Britain but yet to win in Bahrain; below best last twice and best watched'
