ALMINOOR changed hands for 135,000 pounds as a yearling and is a half-brother to four winners. Mark Johnston's colt is expected to know his job at the first time of asking and show up well for powerful connections. Kevin Ryan can ready a newcomer so Coast Ofalfujairah is one to monitor in the betting, while it would come as no surprise to see Gina D'cleaner show up well for Keith Dalgleish.
Prediction : 1st Alminoor 2nd Coast Ofalfujairah 3rd Gina Dcleaner

ENEMY OF THE STATE was touched off by a head over C&D when last sighted in August and is expected to show up well off 1lb higher now debuting for Jason Ward. Enmeshing, who has been active on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, should also go well in this handicap and we probably haven't seen the best of Home Before Dusk yet. He boasts claims on his Newcastle second over a similar trip in January.
Prediction : 1st Enemy Of The State 2nd Enmeshing 3rd Home Before Dusk

EL ASTRONAUTE signed off last season by landing a Listed contest in France and although he must now resume with a penalty, John Quinn's trailblazer could still take plenty of stopping if he can grab the stands' rail. Tarboosh and Captain Colby help give Paul Midgley a strong hand. The former is feared most on these terms, though the latter has been given wind surgery since his last start and could also give a good account. Merhoob, who has recently been active on the all-weather, is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st El Astronaute 2nd Tarboosh 3rd Captain Colby

LOVE DREAMS has dropped 7lb lower than his last winning rating and hinted his turn was approaching when going down by under a length over this trip at Kempton last month. Alfred Richardson signed off 2018 with two 1m victories at Newcastle and has place possibilities now dropping back in trip. The pick of the remainder may be Three Saints Bay, who drops in grade after finishing fourth in 0-100 company over track and trip in October.
Prediction : 1st Love Dreams 2nd Alfred Richardson 3rd Three Saints Bay

CHAMPARISI returned to winning ways at Southwell last time out and she should take plenty of beating once again off just 3lb higher in the ratings. Maulesden May has a decent record at this track, which includes her win here over 1m4f last August, and she edges out Cry Wolf and Dragon Mountain to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Champarisi 2nd Maulesden May 3rd Cry Wolf

CITY TOUR displayed promise in three starts as a juvenile last year and he makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut off what should be a workable mark of 73. Silver Dust has a similar profile to the selection and he may improve for a gelding operation, while Beechwood Izzy and Call Him Al are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st City Tour 2nd Silver Dust 3rd Beechwood Izzy

OUR PLACE IN LOULE won his last couple of starts over this C&D towards the back end of last season and he is hard to oppose, despite the 184-day layoff. Vallarta has been running well enough on the all-weather of late to suggest that he can run well in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to Lord Of The Glen.
Prediction : 1st Our Place In Loule 2nd Vallarta 3rd Lord Of The Glen
