AS MUSHRIF (AE) (S Gorey) was slow into stride. EARLY MORNING (AE) (J McGinn) raced keenly in the early stages and then near the 1000m had to be steadied when attempting a marginal run to the inside of AF RAKIZA (AE) (A Nicholls). Making the turn into the straight, LA TARMES (AE) (D O’Donohoe) rolled inwards slightly and inconvenienced the tiring LAZ’ZAZ ALFAISAL (AE) (A Ajtebi).

A post race veterinary examination of JAIFAR (AE) revealed no abnormalities.
