A typically well-contested Straight Mile qualifier can go to ON THE LINE. Hugo Palmer’s three-year-old saw his progress stall last time at Musselburgh but had excuses as he was slowly away and then met trouble in-running – he can reverse that form with Reggae Runner. There are several dangers, however, including course and distance winners Give It Some Teddy and Dawaaleeb. The latter was up against a well-treated rival last time at Newmarket. Weld Al Emarat and Calvados Spirit should also be thereabouts.
