SALLAAL takes his record to three from four, getting the job done easily at Hamilton.

The Frankel half-brother to 1000 Guineas winner ELMALKA got his career off to a fine start last year, winning his sole juvenile start over 7f. He came on nicely from seasonal reappearance to win at Hamilton last time out, and we were delight to see him make it two on the bounce over C&D this afternoon. SALLAAL travelled strongly under Callum Rodriguez, taking up the lead with ease 2f from home and running on nicely to win by 2L ahead of last year’s Buckingham Palace Stakes winner English Oak.

Congratulations to Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum.
