WISTAR returned to action with a fourth at Pontefract last month. Luca Cumani's colt should be up to winning off his current mark and is fancied to reverse latest running with Pontefract third Express Himself. The latter should be in the firing-line again but Polar Forest will find this tougher carrying 6lb extra for last week's win at Nottingham. Musaddas was raised only 2lb for winning at Kempton in November and Master Of The World drops down a grade after placing at Haydock last time. Jacob Black was progressive last year but is having his first start since September.
