TUCO was beaten only a head at Lingfield on his return to action and that looks stronger form than Markstein's fourth at Newmarket. The former gets the nod with Ryan Moore back on board. Tumbaga went close at Santa Anita in October and makes his debut in the UK while Balayage showed promise last year with a couple of placed efforts over 6f. The latter's stablemate Warm Reception is a half-sister to a winner in Italy while fellow newcomer Alasaal cost $550,000 and is Paul Hanagan's choice ahead of Mugharred.
