Royston Ffrench brought Lahmoom with a smooth challenge to score at Al Ain a week ago, scoring by just over a length from Raconteur with Circle Dream close behind in third. The winning rider was also on board RICH AND FAMOUS when his mount finished second at Jebel Ali on Friday and has chosen the latter this time. Royal Sands scored at Southwell for James Given and has joined Doug Watson while the beautifully-bred Falsehood was starting to show some form in the spring.
