ERBIL (5) returns from a six-month spell after producing a series of encouraging performances during his first campaign. His closing third over 1200m at Riyadh suggested a maiden win is well within reach, and with natural improvement expected, he shapes as the runner to beat. NORTHERN WINNER (11) also resumes after showing promise in 3 starts, signing off with a well-earned placing at Riyadh. The awkward draw adds to the challenge, but he has the talent to figure in the finish. ALDHAHAAK (1) has been freshened since his last appearance and is ideally drawn to improve sharply. He has enough ability to feature in the finish. ROZZEN (12) resumes off a solid placing and, despite another wide alley, has the ability to have a say in the outcome of this modest maiden.
