Adam Kirby recorded a placed effort on ALI BIN NAYEF on the only time they have partnered up and he may have learned plenty from that experience. He's taken to go one better and record the horse's second career win. Graceful Lady has some decent form in the book and finished second to Stamford Raffles five starts back, that rival looks set to be rated 80 when reassessed so claims if she returns in that kind of form. Staplehurst is one to watch in the betting market on handicap debut. 1. Ali Bin Nayef 2. Graceful Lady 3. Staplehurst
