See The Firebecame the first-ever dual winner of the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies’ Stakes at York when defending her title in taking fashion.
An impressive 12-length winner of this race last year, Andrew Balding’s five-year-old was sent off 5-6 favourite to go back-to-back having returned with victory in the Nottinghamshire Oaks last month.
It was Fallen Angel that led them along at a modest pace, with Oisin Murphy at pains to hold onto the defending champion who was always in Karl Burke’s multiple Group One winner’s slipstream.
The race developed in earnest entering the home straight and while it briefly looked like Charlie Appleby’s Diamond Rain had got first run up the inside of Fallen Angel, See The Fire showed a proficient turn of foot on the dash for home to prove victorious by three-quarters of a length.
Ger Lyons’ Red Letter filled the runners-up spot, with Diamond Rain’s effort eventually petering out in third.
