Johnston hoping for Nakheel news

Mark Johnston hopes to know more about the chances of Nakheel making the Stan James 2000 Guineas line-up after owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s vet visits the colt on Friday.

The son of Sadler’s Wells is a 10-1 shot with totesport for the May 6 Classic after being well supported through the winter, but his participation is in doubt after a poor piece of work last week.
