MY TARGET (NAP) arrives in the form of his life having landed a four-timer at Lingfield with last week’s success. He’s just preferred to Keystroke, who won the Lincoln Trial on last year’s card and scored at Kempton in January. A few of these return from a lay-off including Yuften, who landed a valuable handicap at Ascot in October, while Swift Approval ended last year with a double including a Listed event in Germany. Eltezam was placed in the Coventry at Ascot as a two-year-old but has not raced since 2015 while Mise En Rose was runner-up in last year’s Group 3 Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster and should be sharper for a recent reappearance. Salateen and Naadirr have been competing without success at Meydan and Realize was third in this last year.
