It was the Brits who outgunned the French here as Archie Watson's Outbox scored under Hollie Doyle.
The French took second with Mutabali (Pantal-Peslier) and the Brits also took third with Andrew Balding's lightly raced Fox Tal ridden by David Proberts.
The race is worth US$10 million and we are sure Hollie would be aware of the excellent shopping to be had in Doha!
Earlier Taxiwala won the Durkhan Sprint for the second year running with Regional second and X Force third.
The Al Rayyan Mile saw Nuance, a nice Frankel colt ridden by Maxim Guyon, win from Scherzo under Tom Marquand by 1 ¾ lengths with General Panic third.
