Emperors Warrior finally opened his account in a maiden race here in October but never figured back in a handicap last time. BURAUQ got off the mark in this grade at Lingfield last month and there may be more to come from him despite a 4lb rise so he gets the nod. Scarlet Bounty has slipped down the weights having shown little so far this year while Multi Quest returned a disappointing joint-favourite here last time. Devilution and Diamond Vine are capable of running into a place.
