Verdict
Nabeel was a disappointment for Godolphin but a change of surroundings may do him good and his overall form gives him a chance of making a successful start for new connections. Torpedo Alley was having his first start for almost a year when attempting to make all here a fortnight ago. He led for a long way before fading and will be better for the run so has to be respected. SO FOCUSSED (NAP) made a belated racecourse debut at Naas in July where she took a while to realise what was required before staying on. That was over 6f and with another winter on her back she should start making up for lost time.
