Nawaadi has shown a consistent level of form but Marcus Tregoning's colt is becoming expensive to follow and may, once more, have to settle for a minor role with preference for Emirates Line over Right To Play. The last mentioned was well held on his all-weather debut at Kempton but should have learned from that experience so cannot be discounted, especially as the yard of John Gosden continues in good form. Luca Cumani's Sculastic did not progress as much as may have been expected form his debut and, while it is probably too soon to be writing him off, the son of Galileo may do better once qualified for handicaps which he will be after today's run. The Michael Jarvis-trained Dichoh could be of interest first time out, while Trailmix is bred to handle the ground and a market move for him should be noted. Emirates Line has a decent pedigree though and it would come as no surprise to see him score at the first time of asking.
