Fivehundredmiles was put in his place by Billingsgate at Abu Dhabi so the performance of the winner earlier in the day should be a pointer. MURRAYFIELD had been going well at Sharjah before stepping up to 1m2f here and winning easily. Today's trip shouldn't prove a problem and his young rider can again use his claim so a quick double looks on the cards. Hawker, who finished well into third, will be 7lb better off so should get much closer as should Parklife, who stayed on well into fifth but sixth-placed Aleko looks held.
