Formscan - Last year's champion trainer James Owen continues to have his horses in great form under all codes. Top rated Upstart Crow is twice a winner on his return and is sure to be primed for a repeat. The only doubt is his ability on the all-weather as all wins are on turf. Stablemate Amirat Al Zaman is by a sire that produces black-type winners on dirt, and is sure to improve again this term, though her main target is in June and this may come too soon. A paddock and market check is advised for Marakeb on his debut for that yard, too, but the narrow preference is for MUTWAHHEJ ATHBAH. A strong type, he's had a few minor hold ups but goes well for his jockey, is a half-brother to all-weather winners and won on his seasonal return last year.
