ANALYSIS:
NAFISAH and Albuhera came right away from what
looked a reasonable field and are two handicappers to
follow.
The winner had some decent
two-year-old form, but faced no easy task at the weights.
However, runners from her stable have been fairly well
forward, and she must have been quite fit to see out her
race so well. It looks a decent effort to give the
less-exposed Albuhera 13lb, and she shapes as if she will
get further.
Bachir's brother Albuhera
looked open to plenty of improvement, andclearly stepped
up considerably on his two-year-old form. He had plenty of
use made of him and stuck on well, without being quite
able to hold off the winner. Unfortunately, he is likely
to face a fair hike up the handicap.
Modrik carried the winning
owner's second colours, but there was no shortage of
confidence behind him on this first appearance for a new
stable. He was well placed from the start and had his
chance, but he could not go with the two principals. He
was, however, always holding onfrom Factual Lad and
Goggles in a good race for third. The last-named,
taking a big step up in trip, did not convince as a miler.
