ALMENKONIG (2) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 2400m at Baden Baden. Ideally placed to score while fresh. NIGHT OCEAN (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2500m at Dortmund. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. OAK LAHOMA (4) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2200m at Baden Baden. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. ALMENFEE (6) returns after seven months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 2800m at Baden Baden. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
