EMARAATY will start a short price to make a winning return. John Gosden’s colt won at Newbury before struggling in the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes in October and the 2000 Guineas entry should be winning this being rated 109. Mountain Breath and Tight Lines ended last year with victories over 6f and 7f respectively with the latter preferred while Cuddington looks another likely improver. Runway is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner but has no easy task on her debut.
