ADJECTIVE (NAP), who is a full-sister to a high-class Grade 1 winner in the USA and related to other winners, had three runs in France last season without showing much but she's by Dansili and much more likely to do better in her second campaign. She gets the vote in a moderate handicap headed at the weights by Camakasi, who is 2-34 with both victories coming on the all-weather. All of What Usain's five victories have been on artificial surfaces while Karam Albaari's best form is on Polytrack. Tyrsal is 2lb lower than when winning over slightly shorter here last summer and bounced back to form here last time so looks the main threat.
