The Fugue stuns the mighty Treve.

John Gosden's globetrotting mare, third to Al Kazeem in the race last year, travelled sweetly into the race and found plenty when asked to quicken by William Buick.

Well backed at 11/2, the five-year-old was held up in fifth as Alkaayed set the pace - as expected - for Mukhadram, but the front-runner was largely ignored and spent most of the first three-quarters of the race eight to 10 lengths clear.

He ran out of petrol coming into the straight and it was patently obvious The Fugue, who was injured when beaten in the Dubai Duty Free in March, was travelling the best.

She produced when asked by Buick and went to the line a couple of lengths clear of Magician (6/1) and odds-on favourite Treve, who appeared ill at ease on much quicker ground than she had encountered when impressively winning the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last October
