MODUN made a huge impression with the way he stretched clear at Newbury. Sharaayeen looks easily the chief danger, despite the each-way claims among plenty including Rock A Doodle Doo, Blissful Moment and Taqleed.

Duke Of Edinburugh 2008 Result

The pace was not that strong and not many got into it behind Sugar Ray, who made virtually all. Sugar Ray was 10lb higher here than when beating a small field in a weak race at Bath, but he was not that exposed and the application of a first-time tongue tie after a subsequent third at York may have been significant. He was given an excellent ride by Ryan Moore, who dictated the pace and kept him wide of the rail, presumably for better ground and remains progressive.
