The William Haggas-trained four-year-old led from the start for Paul Hanagan, but was made to work hard as Grandeur laid down a strong bid in the final quarter of a mile.

Mukhadram landed his second victory of the season to book a possible place in the Juddmonte International back at York next month, and the three-quarters-of-a-length victory rewarded owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum's retained jockey Hanagan, who chose to ride Mukhadram on the Knavesmire instead of going to Ascot for Ektihaam in the Juddmonte International could be on the agenda, the Newmarket trainer said: "It is certainly a possibility."
