First to salute the judge was Arabian Crown in the Listed Stonehenge Stakes. The juvenile son of Dubawi (pictured) stayed on well in the one-mile contest to beat his paternal half-brother Arabic Legend by two-and-a-quarter lengths. Son, a first-crop son of Too Darn Hot, ran on well to record his first Black Type in third.
Bred by the GB Partnership, Arabian Crown was a €600,000 yearling and a full-sister to Stakes winner Everest Rose.

Later in the card, State Occasion, a five-year-old daughter of Iffraaj recorded her first Stakes victory in the Upavon Fillies’ Stakes. Run over ten furlongs, the Car Colston Stud bred daughter of Forest Crown was not extended to beat a competitive field by nearly four lengths.
Proper race. Proper winner ✨

Too Darn Hot recorded his second winner of the day when Ahlain struck at Kempton Park. Bred by Rabbah Bloodstock and owned by Sultan Ali, she was making her second career start and is a daughter of the Sea The Star's mare Queen Of The Stars.
