The second round of the Al Maktoum Challenge saw the American star Hot Rod Charlie show what the hype was all about.

The Doug O'Neill galloper under temporary jockey William Buick had no problems with the track and had a fairly soft win over Ryan Moore's mount Al Nefud from the Seemar yard., with stablemate Kafoo taking third.

The Balanchine was one of a Buick treble when Creative Flair beat Pevensey Bay.

The Firebreak was the second of a double for Fawzi Naas and Adrie de Vried when Hypothetical defeated Strong Constitution by 3 ¼ lengths with Tuz third and Prince Eji unplaced.
