Verdict
NATHAN (NAP) made a promising start when third behind subsequent Derby gamble Crystal Ocean and the runner-up has won since. Simon Crisford’s colt gets the nod on that form. Hawridge Flyer ran well here on his debut in October and Qaviy Cash could figure but Ply disappointed last time and stablemate Magellan made only a modest start over a mile here last month. Linaltaqy is preferred to stable companion Espresso Martini but Peterport, related to a host of smart winners and Dubai Thunder, a half-brother to Group 1 winner Farhh, make most appeal of the newcomers.
