TIGER NATION was an easy debut winner over 6f at Jebel Ali then stepped up a furlong to make all in the trial for this. He had plenty in hand of fourth-placed Morning but Shirl's Bee started odds-on for a maiden here in December and supporters hardly had a moment's concern. A follow-up is a distinct possibility but Tall Boy had four starts in the USA without winning. Mr Raj missed the break but stayed on strongly on his debut here a month ago.
