ELJADDAAF (NAP) showed progressive form on the all-weather in the first half of last year when winning five times. He started this year in the same frame of mind with an easy four-length win at Kempton and can go in again. Captain Dion will find this easier than his latest task at Newcastle and was clear of runner-up Parkour when winning at Chelmsford earlier while Oriental Relation was ahead of third-placed Sophisticated Heir when scoring over track and trip and the latter has gone close at Lingfield since. Fast Track has become difficult to win with but slid down the weights last year and could bounce back in this lower grade.
