Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Monday's Observations features a full brother to Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) first out at Yarmouth.
13.55 Yarmouth, Novice, £9,950, 2yo, 7f 3yT
GRANGER BAY (IRE) (New Bay {GB}) makes his debut for Jane Chapple-Hyam, who guided his full-sister Saffron Beach (Ire) through a stellar career which included successes in the G1 Sun Chariot S., G1 Prix Rothschild and G2 Duke of Cambridge S. Bought for €450,000 at Goffs Orby, Fiona Carmichael and Ballylinch Stud's newcomer meets the Gosdens' unraced Dubawi Time (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum's half-brother to the stable's high-class five-times group 2 winner Enbihaar (Ire) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}).
HOW THEY FARED
14.33 ParisLongchamp, Mdn, €50,000, unraced 2yo, c/g, 9fT
Al Asayl France's homebred newcomer Map Of Stars (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), a Francis-Henri Graffard-trained son of G1 Prix Vermeille heroine Bateel (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), was out of his comfort zone throughout, but found plenty under pressure in the straight to score by an ultimately snug one-length margin.
