There had been 2mm of rain overnight and further 3mm of water put on the course during the morning and the jockeys reported the ground as a good fast surface. With Aakef a non-runner on veterinary advice this looked an easy opportunity for KHOR DUBAI to get off the mark but victory wasn't quite achieved in the anticipated manner. He was steadied and dropped in just after the start and came through to win his race when pushed through to lead over a furlong out and, although never looking likely tobe caught, held on in a driving finish. He is neat type who doesn't appear to have the scope of the typical two-year-olds from his stable and his future would appear to lie in nurseries.

Magaling looked as if he needed to furnish his frame in the paddock but made a highly encouraging debut. He was soon close up and kept on strongly when coming through to chase the winner in the final furlong. Like all of his trainer's juveniles, he will come on considerably for this introduction and can find success in similar company.

Siciliando was soon chasing the leaders towards the far side and looks the sort to improve further with experience. He kept on well enough, is now qualified for nurseries, and a step up in trip could prove the key to success.

Flyit had been touched off at Bath last week and soon led but could only keep on at the one pace when headed by the winner. He is another who could fare better in nurseries and Sericus is another from whom better may be seen in the future when qualified for that grade.

Magical Illusion was soon chasing the leaders until weakening over a furlong out but she possesses some ability and a drop in class maybe over five furlongs could do the trick with her.
