Al Aasy does it again in Coral Glorious Stakes

Al Aasy continued his formidable record at G3 level as he easily won the 12-furlong Coral Glorious Stakes for a second time, following up his victory 12 months ago.

Carrying 3lb more than his four rivals, the 13/8 favourite waited in last under Jim Crowley before switching out to avoid the weakening Arabian Crown halfway down the home straight.

Al Aasy made good headway to challenge stablemate Candleford and Meydaan a furlong out and readily went away to win by three lengths, with Meydaan (15/2) taking second.

This was an eighth G3 success for the William Haggas-trained eight-year-old, with the son of Sea The Stars becoming the first dual winner of the Glorious Stakes since Capstan in 1981 and 1982.
