Nayef takes his revenge

NAYEF overcame a scare at the start to gain revenge on Golan as the pair served up another tight finish at York yesterday.

There was only a head between the pair after their dramatic tussle in last month’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot and just half a length separated them following another duel here in the Juddmonte International Stakes.

But Ascot runner-up Nayef came out on top this time in the £450,000 contest, despite having to be reshod at the start after spreading a plate.
