Mgheera storms home to secure smart Temple triumph

finished with a flourish to lift Group Two honours in the Betfred Stakes at Haydock.

Previously trained in France, the five-year-old was having her second start for Ed Walker having won a ParisLongchamp Group Three on her debut for the yard earlier in the month.

Partnered by William Buick, who had already ridden three winners on the card, Mgheera was settled early on as Law Of Average set a testing pace, but she was travelling notably well up the nearside rail in the final furlong.

She’s Quality had set sail for home on the other side of the track but 10-1 shot Mgheera had too much in reserve and swept through to take the prize by half a length, with Washington Heights the same distance back in third.
