followed up from last time in fine style on handicap debut and is progressing well now, relishing the extra 1f and the strong pace but also clearly just a long way ahead of this opening mark; slowly into stride, held up, travelled smoothly, good progress out wide home turn, led 1f out, drew clear and had plenty in hand; he's set for a big rise in the weights but still seems sure to go well again.

Although the pace was very strong and set it up for Alrajaa to some extent, he is obviously a progressive sort regardless and proved much too good. ALRAJAA followed up from last time in fine style on handicap debut and is progressing well now, relishing the extra 1f and the strong pace but also clearly just a long way ahead of this opening mark; slowly into stride, held up, travelled smoothly, good progress out wide home turn, led 1f out, drew clear and had plenty in hand; he's set for a big rise in the weights but still seems sure to go well again.
