COMMANDING looked like making a successful debut when brought with a smooth challenge over 7f last month but couldn't quite get past Al Modayar. The remainder were well behind and Richie Mullen can steer him home. Majhoola tracked the leader over 7f last month but couldn't get past and was beaten almost 5 lengths but is certain to make progress. Mambo Mischief couldn't go the pace over 6f here in October but was staying on while Doug Watson's newcomer Sanad Libya, whose dam produced a winner with her first foal to race, looks an obvious threat from the leading trainer's yard.
