        Verdict

        Kilbaha Lady won here in September and was only 2lb higher when scoring at Yarmouth a month later though is up another 5lb for her reappearance. Abushamah started the last campaign on a mark of 82 but didn't win all summer and is now 13lb lower. He'll be better for last month's run and is greatly respected. Metronomic won three times at minor level last year but Swansway appears better in amateurs' events. Al Khan has managed to win 13 times including a Wolverhampton seller last month and was racing from 20lb higher a year ago but NEWMARKET WARRIOR gets the nod as he's only 1lb higher than when scoring here in October and has been competing at a slightly higher level.
