“It all went pretty smoothly for me,” said Crouch. “We were drawn high and he's a horse who needs a fast pace to aim at so today with 16 runners and quick ground that's what he got; so I'm delighted for His Highness Shaikh Sultan and Osama [Hashim].”

The Covex Kid (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), trained by Hesham Al Haddad, made it five wins in a row and a third straight win in Bahrain in the Al Dana Cup over 2000 metres. It was another big-race success for the same ownership, Al Mohamediya Racing and regular series winning jockey Neil Callan.

“It was a very strong race, we were a bit worried when the horse got boxed in at the last furlong,” said Al Haddad. “Neil [Callan] managed to steer him very well and find the sunshine and he came out at the right time. We're very happy and connections are too.”
