Observations: Highbank On Show at Leicester

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 Insights features TDN Rising Star Highbank (Ire).

2.30 Leicester, Novice, £9,000, 2yo, 7fT
HIGHBANK (IRE) (Kingman {GB}) may have blotted his copybook in Newbury's Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions S. last month, but Godolphin's TDN Rising Star is back to show that his impressive Newmarket debut success in July was no one-off. Charlie Appleby opts for a confidence boost for the 750,000gns Book 1 purchase from the family of the German stars Boreal (Ger) (Java Gold) and Borgia (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}), who if his debut performance is a guide will be heading for big targets next term.

HOW THEY FARED

1.20 Killarney, Mdn, €18,000, 2yo, 8f 60yT
Water Nymph (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), the half-sister to the Fancy Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), was rushed up early into a prominent position after a tardy break but faded out of contention in the straight to be sixth.

1.55 Yarmouth, Novice, £9,950, 2yo, 7f 3yT
Pherenikos (Ire) (Shamardal), the half-brother to Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), showed up well for a long way but paid for his early keenness late to be touched off for what would have been a deserved second placing.

Juddmonte’s Sun Chariot Second Laurel To Return In 2023

Juddmontes Group 1-placed filly Laurel (GB) (Kingman {GB}), second in the G1 Sun Chariot S. on her third start last month, will return for a 4-year-old campaign, according to Juddmonte Racing Manager Barry Mahon. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the daughter of 2008 G1 Pretty Polly S. heroine Promising Lead (GB) (Danehill) won novices at Newmarket and Kempton in July and September, respectively before her first stakes attempt in the Sun Chariot.

“Laurel will be in training next year, she probably won't run again this season,” said Juddmonte racing manager, Barry Mahon of the 'TDN Rising Star'. “We'll put her away now most likely, and we'll train her to bring her back as a 4-year-old.

“She ran an unbelievable race to finish second in a Group 1 on her third ever start and she's an exciting filly for next year for sure.”

Kingman’s Commissioning Strikes Late For G1 Fillies’ Mile Glory

Isa Salman and Abdulla Al Khalifa's homebred 2-year-old filly Commissioning (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Sovereign Parade {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) backed up a July 30 debut victory at Newmarket's July course with a taking score in last month's G2 Rockfel S. and stepped forward to provide rider Rab Havlin with a first Group 1 triumph in Friday's G1 bet365 Fillies' Mile back at the town's Rowley Mile venue. The 8-13 favourite was alert from the traps and was positioned in a close-up sixth through the early stages. Tanking forward to go second with three furlongs remaining, she was stirred into action at the foot of the hill and quickened in style to take control with 100 yards remaining, en route to a one-length success from long-time leader Novakai (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), herself 4 3/4 lengths clear of 'TDN Rising Star' Bright Diamond (Ire) (El Kabeir) in third.

Commissioning, half to a yearling colt by Fastnet Rock (Aus), is the second of three foals and lone performer produced by a winning full-sister to G1 Irish Derby and G1 St Leger hero Capri (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G3 Stanerra S.-winning G1 Irish Oaks and G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares third Passion (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G3 Loughbrown S. victor Cypress Creek (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). The April-foaled bay's second dam Dialafara (Fr) (Anabaa), herself a half-sister to G3 Prix de Conde runner-up Diaghan (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}), is a daughter of G2 Prix de Malleret and G3 Prix de la Nonette victrix and G1 Prix Vermeille runner-up Diamilina (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}). Diamilina, in turn, is kin to four black-type performers headed by G3 Prix La Rochette winner and multiple Group 1-placed sire Diamond Green (Fr) (Green Desert).
