Meydan preview: Naval Crown makes surface switch for UAE 2000 Guineas bid
Wed 3 Feb 2021
Charlie Appleby is looking forward to seeing
Naval Crown tackle a dirt surface for the first time in the UAE 2000 Guineas at Meydan.
After running with credit on his first two career starts at Newmarket and Ascot in the summer, the Dubawi colt made it third time lucky with a runaway victory in the Convivial Maiden at York’s Ebor Festival.
Naval Crown went on to be placed in a couple of Group Three races in France and makes his Dubai debut in Thursday’s Group Three feature.
