SUBCONTINENT stands out having gone close here last week on his first start since October. The Godolphin colt should be sharper for this and has plenty to spare on today's terms with Amadeity. The latter was placed here before running poorly in a handicap and blinkers are applied for the first time. Naady failed to show any progress when well beaten at Kempton recently but, in contrast, Culloden was only beaten a length over 6f at Lingfield on his return to action and could figure if staying this longer trip.
