Fears about the ground for Shantaram proved unfounded as John Gosden and William Buick's fantastic summer continued at Newmarket in the Bahrain Trophy.
A big drift in the market out to 9-4 suggested there was not much confidence behind the Lingfield Derby Trial runner-up, despite the form being franked by Main Sequence at Epsom, with William Haggas' Valiant was sent off favourite, though he was the first horse beaten.

Alhebayeb (9-2) confirmed the promise of his run in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot when rallying well to win the TNT July Stakes at Newmarket.
Champion jockey Paul Hanagan found himself on the wide outside early on but drifted into the middle of the track to make his challenge, though David Barron's chestnut looked to have done enough a furlong out, but the hill took its toll and Hanagan got another run out of his mount, holding off the late lunge of the outsider Lewisham by a neck.
The win was a first Group success for Hanagan in his new job as Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's retained rider.

FIORENTE TAKES PRINCESS FOR STOUTE.

Fiorente (11-2) gave Sir Michael Stoute an incredible ninth victory in the Princess of Wales's Goldsmiths Stakes at Newmarket as jockey Ryan Moore secured a quick double.
With the field spread across the track, Harris Tweed tried to see them all off, kicking on some way out, but Red Cadeaux loomed up and went over to the far side looking the likely winner.
However, Moore's mount really picked up in fine style and with Joshua Tree for company, he strode out to win by two and three-quarter lengths with Red Cadeaux fading into third.
