Dubai: Muffri’Ha, who her jockey describes as a diva, looks set to compete at next season’s Dubai World Cup Carnival at Meydan following her emphatic victory in the Muhaarar British EBF Rosemary Stakes on Day 2 of the Cambridgeshire meeting at Newmarket racecourse in the UK.

Pat Cosgrave, riding in the colours of Shaikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum, said he was a bit concerned that the five-year-old daughter of Ifraaj would not finish off the race after running a bit fresh early on.

But Muffri’Ha dispelled any doubts as she ran on strongly up the Rowley Mile track to win well in the end.

William Haggas, who admitted that she was a quirky type indicated that he would back her up in the Group 1 Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on October 7.

Muffri’Ha made a good start to the season finishing a neck behind Decorated Knight in the Group 1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan in March and could well return for next year’s Carnival.

“She’s a funny thing, she’s different at different meetings. You just have to let her do her own thing and eventually she comes round to your way of thinking,” Pat Cosgrave told Racing UK. “She’s a bit of a diva but a talented one. I was a bit slowly away, she hasn’t run for a while and was a bit fresh. I was a bit worried she wouldn’t finish off her race but she was just too good in the end. I think William is looking at next week and the Sun Chariot, it may come too soon but we’ll see.”

Haggas added: “That’s her, she’s quirky. I’d like to give huge thanks to Michael Tebbutt [former jockey] who rides her every day, he’s been brilliant with her, he’s put so much time and effort in, it’s all down to him and no one else.

“As much as I’d like to say it was down to me, he has done everything. She had a tremendous time of it this time last year and ran three Saturdays running, getting better and better. We’ve brought her here for gallops a couple of times and this was her third time here, she’ll now come here for the Sun Chariot.

“She was flat in the Dahlia, she had a long autumn and went to Dubai so we had to give her a rest at some time. Fortunately she’s come back and hopefully she’ll have a good autumn again and then be retired.”

Meanwhile, Beat The Bank was a dominant winner of the the Group 2 Shadwell Joel Stakes, the feature race of the afternoon, to storm into favouritism for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

Trained by Andrew Balding, the winner won by five lengths with a lot to spare in the tank.

Winning jockey Oisin Murphy said: “He’s very talented, Josh Bryan rides him at home, one of Andrew’s apprentices, and he’s done a top job with him. Sandeep [Gauravaram] who used to look after Frankel, has him, and while he’s not another Frankel, he’s a very good horse.

“This horse is very lightly-raced, he was tuned for today. I followed the Ballydoyle pacemaker and it happened a bit too easy, which meant he had a look around in front, but he was entitled to. He’s gone through the ranks and it has been very good placing by Andrew, I hope he’s up to the QEII.”

Earlier, Josephine Gordon notched her 87th winner of the season when riding Apphia to a comfortable victory in the Princess Royal Nayef Stakes (Group 3).
