[2] Mishriff is a bay colt with no white markings bred in Ireland by Nawara Stud Limited, the breeding operation of his owner Prince A A Faisal.

[6] Frankie Dettori took the ride when Mishriff started 7/4 favourite for a similar event over one mile at Newbury Racecourse eleven days later and came home third behind Acquitted and Waleydd.

Ridden by David Egan he tracked the leaders before taking the lead two furlongs from the finish and pulled clear of his opponents to win "easily" by ten lengths.

With Egan in the saddle he went off at odds of 16/1 and recovered from a poor start to finish second of the thirteen runners, two and a quarter lengths behind the Japanese-trained winner Full Flat.

After tracking the leaders in the early stages, Egan sent his mount into the lead three furlongs from the finish and Mishriff quickly opened up a clear advantage to win by four lengths from Volkan Star.

Owing to the quarantine restrictions, which meant that Egan would have been required to self-isolate after returning to Britain,[12] Gosden opted to employ the locally based jockey Ioritz Mendizabal who had previously won the race on Vision d'Etat in 2008.

[13] Gosden commented "He's got a good attitude and I thought his last 100 meters were his best of the whole race... On pedigree you'd think he'd stay at this trip but he didn't look like he was stopping either" while Mendizabal said "I was told that he carries his head quite low and I just needed to gather him together halfway up the home straight, but when he picked up, he had it won in two strides... he must be a real crack.

[18] As in the previous year, Mishriff began his 2021 campaign at Riyadh when he contested the second running of the Saudi Cup and went off the 8/1 third choice in the betting behind the American-trained contenders Knicks Go and Charlatan (Arkansas Derby, Malibu Stakes).

[21] John Gosden's son Thady, who had just gone into a training partnership with his father, commented "Over a mile and a half for the first time, if you try to send him to the lead to get him up there, there’s a pretty significant risk you’re going to end up setting him alight – and the race would be over before it really started.

[22] On his first run of the season in Europe, Mishriff contested the Eclipse Stakes over ten furlongs on good-to-soft ground at Sandown Park on 3 July.

[23] Three weeks later Mishriff moved back up in distance for the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over one and a half miles at Ascot Racecourse.

He raced in third place as Mac Swiney set the pace before moving up to take the lead three furlongs from the finish and drew right away in the closing stages to win in "impressive" style by six lengths from Alenquer.
