NAAEEBB (NAP), three times a beaten favourite in the UK this summer, looked at home on Dirt when making his debut here two weeks ago. Always travelling well, he took it up in the straight and though tiring close home had enough in reserve to hold off the staying-on Conquerant with Sky Jockey also running on and Right Flank finishing with a flourish. There are cases to be made for the latter trio at the revised weights but the winner looked to have a bit in hand and can follow up. Fear The Fury won at Wolverhampton for Karl Burke and showed the benefit of his opening run here when gaining a surprise victory at Jebel Ali last week though this looks a bit tougher.
