Kempton Park 4th July :
By Paul Simmons
The International Arabian Raceday Silver Jubilee Premier Handicap
Stakes 0-105 over 1 Mile 2 Furlongs:
Muntaliq (Izentespeshal x Sophie Du Loup) won with some authority
here under a power packed ride from Richard Hills, always travelling
well it was always a matter of when rather than if he would win,
he upped the pace inside the final furlong and drew a good four
lengths clear at the line from Noble Athlete (Dorwan Du Cayrou
x Noble Dame). The latter disappointed the week before at Newbury
behind Paul De Faust but that was only his second race of his
career, he raced much more prominently here and came with every
chance inside the final furlong but couldn ‘t reel the
winner. Back in third was the admirably consistent Deolali (Khairoaun
x Operetta) who rarely runs a bad race, he battled on in the
final furlong and held onto third ahead of CS Malik (Makzan x
Ciarosa).
