Imbongi in full voice

South African raider Imbongi had too many guns for the opposition in the John Bovington Memorial Criterion Stakes at Newmarket.
Completing a big-race double for South African jockey Kevin Shea, the five-year-old Summerhill-bred son of Russian Revival was always prominent before stamping his authority on the Group Three contest.
Despite drifting in the betting, and stumbling shortly after the start, Imbongi (8-1) did nothing wrong once the race started in earnest.
The Mike de Kock-trained entire, who is owned by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, came home a length and a quarter clear of Huntdown, with Balthazaar's Gift third.
Shea said: "He came out on his nose but he recovered well.
"He ran a good race and it's very exciting. He's won two Guineas in South Africa but his last race was against a very strong field.
"He's a very versatile horse, but I'd have to leave his next assignment to the boss."
Shea had initiated his brace on Clive Brittain's Jira, who showed blistering pace to win the Listed Sunley Empress Stakes.- PA Sport
