Verdict

Sultanaa wasn't beaten far in any of his first three starts in the UK and didn't handle soft ground in a Newmarket nursery in August. His stable also run the newcomers Heart Power and Nibras Voice though Tadhg O'Shea has chosen the one with experience. Follow The Feeling, who showed a bit of potential for Henry Spiller in the UK, has changed yards and looks best of their four entries. Both Satish Seemar and Doug Watson have been in excellent form in the first few weeks of the new campaign. The former has two entries and Richard Mullen's mount Bella Dubai, who is out of a Grade 3 winner in the USA, looks the pick of the pair but it's RAYYA from the Watson yard who gets the vote as he's a half-brother to a Grade 3 winner on Dirt at Del Mar.
