Fahey noted that the popular contest has become more difficult to win. "The Lincoln has got a lot tougher to win in the last five years, but Gabrial was a decent horse," said Fahey. "He was a group horse in a handicap really, whereas Brae Hill was a good, hardy handicapper, the type that used to do well in it. "Our horses are always very fit when they run in it.

The group winners will face the Group D runners-up, either Iran or Iraq, while the runners-up will go up against the top-placed team from Group F – either Japan or Uzbekistan. Both coaches - Saudi Ara- bia’s Juan Antonio Pizzi and Felix Sanchex of Qatar - were adamant that their teams would play to win. “I have never played a match in anticipation of who our next opponents will be and that is exactly how we will go into the match tomorrow. “We have maximum confi- dence in the players and have no preference as to who we could play in the Round of 16.
