15.05 Leopardstown, Mdn, €13,500, 3yo, c/g, 10fT
Coolmore and Westerberg's NEWFOUNDLAND (IRE) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), a G1 Epsom Derby and G1 Irish Derby entry, is a son of G3 Give Thanks S. victrix Best In The World (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and thus full-brother to G1 Epsom Oaks, G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine Snowfall (Jpn). One of two set to line up for Aidan O'Brien, his eight rivals include Donnacha O'Brien trainee and fellow debutant First Emperor (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), who is out of MG1SW G1 1000 Guineas winner Sky Lantern (Ire) (Red Clubs {Ire}) and thus kin to G1 Falmouth S. victrix Snow Lantern (GB) (Frankel {GB}).

16.50 Leopardstown, Mdn, €13,000, 3yo, f, 8fT
The hitherto untested ONLY (JPN) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), another Coolmore and Westerberg newcomer of note, is the first foal out of MG1SW dual Classic winner Winter (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Facing 11 here, she is joined by Aidan O'Brien stablemate Porto Cervo (American Pharoah), whose six black-type siblings include G1 Irish Oaks heroine Bracelet (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and GI Belmont Oaks Invitational victrix Athena (Ire) (Camelot {GB}).

HOW THEY FARED:

15:35 Saint-Cloud, Mdn, €27,000, unraced 3yo, f, 8fT
Mascaret (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Godolphin's €620,000 Arqana September yearling out of G3 Hamburger Stuten-Preis victrix Daytona Bay (GB) (Motivator {GB}), exhibited a willing attitude from just off the pace and finished with a rattle to deny another Godolphin runner, Cantilena (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), by 3/4-of-a-length nearing the line for a debut win.

Erevann Returns at Saint-Cloud

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. Tuesday's Observations features a 'TDN Rising Star'.

2.25 Saint-Cloud, Cond, €28,000, 3yo, c/g, 8fT
EREVANN (FR) (Dubawi {Ire}) makes his eagerly-awaited return to action, having earned TDN Rising Star status on his sole start at Deauville in October. The Aga Khan's son of the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, G1 Coronation S. and G1 Prix du Moulin heroine Ervedya (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) has been entered in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and G1 Prix du Jockey Club by Jean-Claude Rouget and he will have his mettle tested here by Juddmonte's Blue Boat (GB) (Frankel {GB}). A member of the family of Fantasia (GB) (Sadler's Wells), the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained homebred has Classic pretensions himself having beaten the subsequent G3 Prix Thomas Bryon winner Dreamflight (GB) (Frankel {GB}) over this course and distance in September. Also in the mix for this intriguing Prix Comrade is the Wertheimers' Chantilly debut scorer Moneyman (GB) (Kingman {GB}), an Andre Fabre-trained son of Mizz Money (Mizzen Mast), the dual graded-stakes scorer who was bought for 500,000gns at the 2018 Tattersalls December Mares Sale.

4.35 Navan, Mdn, €12,000, 3yo, 10fT
STONE AGE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) returns as one of the highest-rated maidens in training, having finished second in the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud and the G2 Champions Juvenile S. Peter Brant, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor's relative of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Bright Sky (Ire) (Wolfhound) holds Derby entries and should have what it takes to get off the mark and join the Ballydoyle ranks for the mile-and-a-half Classics.

Tuesday Returns at Naas

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 a full-sister to MG1SW Minding (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

5.00 Naas, Mdn, €15,000, 3yo, f, 8fT
TUESDAY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is arguably the most high-profile maiden in Europe as a full-sister to Minding (Ire) and Empress Josephine (Ire) who shaped with so much promise on her sole start when narrowly denied by the subsequent G1 Moyglare Stud S. winner Discoveries (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) at The Curragh in June. Pointed by Aidan O'Brien to the same maiden that Empress Josephine captured 12 months ago en route to Irish 1000 Guineas glory, the daughter of Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) will start at cramped odds in a field containing the intriguing Niarchos newcomer Verlinga (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Jessie Harrington-trained daughter of the dual group winner Bocca Baciata (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}).

How They Fared…
1.25 The Curragh, Mdn, €17,000, 2yo, 5fT
FINSCEAL GO DEO (IRE) (Kingman {GB}), the daughter of Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley), was always in the firing line and was tiring out of contention when bumped by the eventual winner inside the final furlong out. Not given a hard time afterwards, she finished fourth.

4.10 Doncaster, Mdn, £7,300, 3yo, 10f 43yT
ALMUHIT (IRE) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), the full-brother to Taghrooda (GB), ran green throughout and although well-beaten in fourth showed promise.
