Al Ghadeer was in a different league to Qatar International Stakes rivals, Magical Sunset was revitalised on her favoured ground as she kicked in the turbos to bag the G3 Whispering Angel Oak Tree Stakes and Paddington continued his faultless season with another dominant display in the G1 Qatar Sussex Stakes.
