Had Democracy Dilemma behind last time (not much to choose between the pair on revised terms); like that one he's going beyond 5f for the first time and will need to find more for the stiffer test.

Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when justifying favouritism in a C&D handicap last month; was held back over 6f here last time but was only beaten 1l behind an improver and she could kick on again on her drop back to this trip; respected.
