In depth
Verdict
There was some cut in the ground when ASJAD (NAP) won at Salisbury on his debut and normal progress can see Roger Varian’s charge defy a penalty. Adaay To Remember is also penalised having scored on the Turf at Lingfield and soft going is not a problem for her while His Pride returns to action having undergone a wind operation since last year’s debut. Thread Count is related to several winners but Adabbah cost 320,000gns as a full-sister to high-class sprinter Ten Sovereigns and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
