Nasraawy was surprisingly turned over by a 200/1 outsider when favourite at Newbury 12 days ago but the result would probably have been different had he not blown the start. He’ll be expected to recoup losses here and Jim Crowley has chosen him ahead of Ahdab but Ed Dunlop’s colt also missed the break when runner-up at Wolverhampton to a potentially-smart newcomer. The winner of that race was trained by Sir Michael Stoute, who runs MY FRANKEL in this. In his one run last year, the son of Frankel came up against a host of subsequent winners, including champion miler Palace Pier, and was far from disgraced.
