If RECONDITE improves for the fitting of first-time blinkers the he could get off the mark at the sixth attempt. His last run was his best to date and the switch to all-weather can also bring about an improved display. Delicate Kiss has to give the selection 2lb but should be thereabouts on the evidence of recent placed efforts, while chances are also given to Juanito Chico and Brighton scorer Baashiq.
Prediction : 1st Recondite 2nd Delicate Kiss 3rd Baashiq

IMPERIAL EMPIRE got off the mark on his handicap debut at Sandown and, off a rating of 75, that victory came as no surprise because he'd finished second behind talented stable companion Al Suhail the time before at Yarmouth. The step up to 1m can ensure he remains a step ahead of the handicapper and it is worth noting that the son of Dubawi is William Buick's only ride of the day. Dramatic Sands recorded his second career success on his first all-weather start at Kempton latest and joins Qaaddim on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Empire 2nd Dramatic Sands 3rd Qaaddim

Sheriffmuir finished third behind a couple of smart types on debut at Newbury last year but has clearly had his problems since. We haven't seen the son of War Front for 440 days and although he must be respected on his reappearance given his connections, the value may lie elsewhere and IMHOTEP can put his superior experience, and race-fitness, to good use. Almahha is entitled to have come forward for her debut effort.
Prediction : 1st Imhotep 2nd Sheriffmuir 3rd Almahha

AMAAN struck over this trip on debut at Leicester last month and sets a clear form standard. Simon Crisford's gelding is expected to follow up under a penalty and gets the verdict ahead of Rovaniemi, who shaped with an abundance of promise first time out when second on the turf course here in August. Any money for John Gosden's newcomer Al Rufaa would also be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Amaan 2nd Rovaniemi 3rd Al Rufaa

SEPRANI was touched off by a neck over this trip at Chelmsford last time out and is expected to mount another bold bid off an unchanged rating. Burning Topic didn't appear to fully see out the trip when fourth over 1m at Kempton 17 days ago and could appreciate the return to 7f, while C&D winner Bint Dandy has been given a chance by the assessor and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Seprani 2nd Burning Topic 3rd Bint Dandy

DEVIL OR ANGEL has been in top form of late, winning two of his last three starts, and the four-year-old is backed to follow up his recent track-and-trip success under a 5lb penalty. Brogans Bay was only a neck behind on that occasion when sent off favourite and appears very dangerous off an untouched rating, while On Route's most recent outings offer encouragement and she is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Devil Or Angel 2nd Brogans Bay 3rd On Route

ROAD TO PARIS has thrived since being stepped up to 1m6f recently, winning two of his last three starts, and could follow up his latest Bath triumph now trying two miles for the first time off a 4lb higher mark. The hat-trick seeking Conkering Hero steps back up in distance in good form and commands respect, while Cogital is just 3lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in August. Imperium got off the mark on his first outing in a handicap 17 days ago and is another to consider along with Manton Warrior and Fragrant Belle.
Prediction : 1st Road To Paris 2nd Conkering Hero 3rd Cogital
