Having run with promise on all of his first four starts it was great to see TILAAWAH finally get off the mark at Yarmouth this afternoon for Mr Hamdan Al Maktoum. We were slightly concerned about the heavy going conditions but he handled it well and saw out a sustained battle inside the final furlong to win in game fashion by a neck under Ryan Moore. He just held on from our own BELLA NOTTE who ran another good race to finish second for Lord Carnarvon under our apprentice Mark Crehan.
