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. Wednesday's Observations features a full-brother to Grade I winner Highland Chief (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}).
14.25 Lingfield, Nov, £6,800, 2yo, f, 7f 1y (AWT)
Godolphin's homebred debutante STAR GUEST (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a daughter of MGSW G1 Prix d'Ispahan third Usherette (Ire) (Shamardal) and the mount of William Buick here. The March-foaled bay is accompanied by Charlie Appleby-trained stablemate Glory Lily (GB) (Shamardal), who is a half-sister to MGSW G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud and Sunday's G1 Hong Kong Vase runner-up Botanik (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), in this 12-runner affair.
16.30 Kempton, Nov, £6,800, 2yo, 8f (AWT)
Fitri Hay's hitherto unraced CLAN CHIEFTAIN (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}) is a Ralph Beckett-trained son of G3 Give Thanks S. victrix Pink Symphony (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) and thus a full-brother to this year's GI Man O' War S. hero Highland Chief (Ire). The April-foaled homebred bay encounter's a baker's dozen on debut.
