Verdict
Azzir did well last year and is no forlorn hope on his reappearance under a 5lb claimer. Omotesando is a previous course and distance winner but Nottingham winner Mujazif has more to under a penalty, though will handle conditions. The three-year-olds Stoney Broke and CAPONOVA could dominate and the latter is preferred as he's now two from two over track and trip whereas the former hasn't raced since making a successful debut at Nottingham in September.
