IT was a low key to start to the Dubai Duty Free Derby meeting on the Friday night with the pick of the performances on the clock Longbourn (91) who landed the Tri Equestrian Handicap under a textbook front-running ride from Joey Sheridan.

The first two home were prominent throughout as Ross O’Sullivan’s gelding proved too strong for Solene Lilyette (91), who herself had been on a roll winning her two previous starts.
