Simeon, the French Derby third, and Dermot Weld’s Mutakarrim, were mere also-rans in seventh and eighth respectively.

Dettori was delighted with the effort of the winner.

“I like Mamool very much,” he told www.godolphin.com.

“He took on the best horses in England last year and this drop in class has done him the world of good and he won well.”

“He ran a super race in the Leger last year and we took him to the German Derby and he also won at Royal Ascot. We can have some fun with him over long distances this year.”
