slowly into stride, ran green in rear, shaken up to chase leaders over 2f out, never able to challenge, well beaten in 4th final furlong
led, driven and headed over 1f out, soon ridden, edged left and stayed on when hard pressed for 2nd inside final furlong, no chance with easy winner
tracked front pair, driven over 1f out, stayed on to dispute 2nd inside final furlong, no chance with easy winner
An intriguing novice with Sir Michael Stoute unveiling Boss Power, a son of Frankel and David Simcock providing Tiger Crusade, a son of No Nay Never, with his first start. The market should help point the way with both. Charlie Appleby contenders complete the line-up and AL SUHAIL (NAP), in a first-time hood, looks the one to be with after delivering an excellent debut at the July meeting at HQ when going down narrowly to Al Madhar in a good-looking maiden. Stablemate Imperial Empire has disappointed on both starts despite being well backed on each occasion and will need to find improvement here.
