IGOR STRAVINSKY (IRE) (No Nay Never) is the pick of Ryan Moore of two intriguing Ballydoyle newcomers and is the day's most exciting prospect as the first foal out of the G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Bidding to emulate the debut win of her relative Wingspan (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) on Sunday, the February-foaled bay is joined by stablemate Mundi (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), the full-brother to another dual Guineas winner in Churchill (Ire) and to the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Clemmie (Ire) who was withdrawn from Leopardstown on Wednesday due to the testing ground.

Galileo’s Agenda A New TDN Rising Star

The extended 10-furlong View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Maiden has been used by Aidan O'Brien for his potential Derby colts in recent years and Tuesday's renewal was no exception as Agenda (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}–Different League {Fr}, by Dabirsim {Fr}) became the stable's latest TDN Rising Star. Following on from Galileo's Changingoftheguard (Ire) who two years earlier had won this en route to taking the G3 Chester Vase and G2 King Edward VII S., the highly encouraging third in a seven-furlong Curragh maiden in October was able to fully justify 11-10 favouritism under Wayne Lordan. Always travelling easily on the outer, he tanked to the head of affairs at the top of the straight and had control from there.

Despite running green as he had on debut, the son of the G3 Albany S. winner and G1 Cheveley Park S. and G1 Prix Morny-placed Different League surged away late to beat the solid yardstick Huxley (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) by 4 3/4 lengths.Ballydoyle's representative Chris Armstrong said of Galileo's 42nd TDN Rising Star, “He had a lovely run as a two-year-old at the Curragh in a race that worked out nicely and has the makings of a lovely horse. He's still very babyish and raw and I think there is plenty of improvement but, when he gets there, he could be a nice one. Wayne gave him a lovely ride and we'll probably look at a trial for him next–he might be one for Chester.”

Agenda joins a list of stellar TDN Rising Stars for the past Coolmore monarch including Waldgeist (GB), Found (Ire), New Approach (Ire), Teofilo (Ire) and the incomparable Frankel (GB). Different League, who was a 1.5million gns purchase by White Birch Farm and M V Magnier at the 2017 Tatts December Sale, has produced the useful Subzero (Ire) from her first mating with the late great Galileo and her third foal is a yearling son of Frankel (GB). The family includes the G2 Gimcrack S.-winning sire Carrowkeel (Ire).

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. Sunday's Observations features the third foal out of three-time Group 1 heroine Alice Springs (Ire).

FLEETINGLY (Justify) is the third foal out of the G1 Falmouth S., G1 Matron S. and G1 Sun Chariot S. heroine Alice Springs (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who has already produced the group 3-placed Prettiest (Dubawi {Ire}) and Canute (Quality Road) who looked a promising type last term before being fatally injured at Royal Ascot. Aidan O'Brien introduces her in a 10-runner affair in the race he has won in the last three years with Galileo's future Classic winners Empress Josephine (Ire) and Tuesday (Ire) and group 3 winner and G1 Prix de l'Opera runner-up Jackie Oh (Ire).
