Best Solution solves Autumn Stakes Best Solution stuck to his guns to claim top honours in the Dubai 100 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. Not beaten far when fourth in last month's Tattersalls Stakes, Saeed bin Suroor's Godolphin runner was a 12-1 chance as he stepped up to a mile for the first time in the hands of William Carson. The Kodiac colt was well placed throughout, tracking the pacesetting Montataire before taking over inside the final two furlongs. York maiden winner Zainhom got rolling late but, with the rail to help, Best Solution galloped all the way to the line to see him off by two lengths. Aidan O'Brien's 11-4 favourite The Anvil was third. Carson said: "It's nice to be given these opportunities. He stayed on very well. "They were always adamant that he'd stayed the mile. The ground was perfect for him. He can only progress." Bin Suroor said: "He's doing good. He was unlucky in his last run here and this time he worked really well before the race. "It was a tough race, but the horse is improving. I told the jockey to sit in behind the pace, that was the only way to (guarantee) a clear run. "I think it could be that we take him back to Dubai for some good races there. "He is not entered in the Racing Post Trophy, but we'll have a look. It could be another option."
