Bedouin Prince (G)
Two wins from 3 runs last year. Very good second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 7/4). Off 174 days. Back up in trip. Has wide draw to overcome but is a promising sort.

King's Charter (G)
Won both starts last year, including 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm, 9/4) with bit in hand. Off 175 days. Is lightly raced and there should be more to come.

Alpine Trail (G)
Three wins from 4 runs last year. 13/2, 7½ lengths last of 11 to Pride of Arras in Dante Stakes at York (10.2f, good). Off 7 months/gelded. Makes handicap debut and previous promise can't be ignored.

Stormy Ocean (G)
Course winner. 80/1, 10¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Opera Ballo in Al Rashidiya at this course (9f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive.

[H1]
18/1, 14¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Norwalk Havoc in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 75 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien. Others make more appeal.

Shepperton Lodge (H)
[T]
Two wins from 6 runs last year, latest here in November. 13/8, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Meydan (9.4f) 42 days ago. Difficult ask back on turf.

Dante's Lad (G)
Latest win at Windsor in June. Last of 8 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 5/1) 84 days ago. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Sean (H)
Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (9f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago, not clear run. Can give a good account without proving threat to principals.
