Back in vogue when successful in last month's seven-furlong G2 City of York S. on the Knavesmire, Marc Chan's 'TDN Rising Star' Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Ceilidh House {GB}, by Selkirk) continued his renaissance with a one-length victory in Sunday's G2 Cazoo Park S. at Doncaster.

PADDINGTON (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}) is a rare British debut runner for Ballydoyle on a day when there are no pattern races, with the stable opting to bring two members of its powerful juvenile squad to the Berkshire venue. The joint-second highest-priced lot at the Arqana Deauville October Yearling Sale, the April-foaled bay who holds a G1 Dewhurst S. entry is out of the Listed Prix Belle de Nuit winner Modern Eagle (Ger) (Montjeu {Ire}) from the family of their 2009 Dewhurst runner-up Fencing Master (GB) (Oratorio {Ire}). He meets Godolphin's Charlie Appleby-trained City Of Kings (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a 350,000gns Book 1 graduate whose dam is the G2 Lancashire Oaks winner Horseplay (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}) and who caught the eye when fifth at Sandown last month after blowing the start; and James Wigan's newcomer Burnish (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a William Haggas-trained half-brother to the talented Karar (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Lights On (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}).

RED RIDING HOOD (IRE) (Justify) is the other representative from Rosegreen on the card and a significant one as the third foal out of the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine and 1000 Guineas runner-up Ballydoyle (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). A half-sister to the Listed Ingabelle S. scorer Monday (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), the March-foaled chestnut is also connected to the multiple Group 1 winner Misty For Me (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and her top-level scorers U S Navy Flag and Roly Poly.

Labelled a TDN Rising Star following her emphatic winning debut over 6 1/2 furlongs at Cologne July 10, Gestut Fahrhof's homebred Habana (Ger) (Kingman {GB}) justified all the hype with an impressive follow-up in Wednesday's G3 149th Renate & Albrecht Woeste Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden. Held up in last early by a confident Eduardo Pedroza, the Andreas Wohler-trained 8-5 favourite was unleashed turning for home and her sustained effort saw her take command passing the furlong pole en route to a two-length success from See Paris (Ger) (Counterattack {Aus}).
Habana, who holds an entry in the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, becomes the 50th stakes winner for her sire and is the second foal out of the G3 Premio Primi Passi heroine Hargeisa (Speightstown), whose dam is the Omnibus S. winner Hasay (GB) (Lomitas {GB}) who is in turn out of the Listed Criterium du Fonds Europeen de l'Elevage winner and GIII Matchmaker S. runner-up Saralea (Fr) (Sillery). From the family of the Hong Kong Gold Cup hero Deauville (Fr) (Groom Dancer), Hargeisa also has the promising 3-year-old colt by Frankel (GB) named Huancayo (Ger) and a filly foal by Pinatubo (Ire).

Marc Chan's 5-year-old gelding Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Ceilidh House {GB}, by Selkirk) was a neck shy of Sandrine (GB) (Bobby's Kitten) in last month's G2 Lennox S. at Goodwood and exacted revenge on that rival with a first since annexing last year's renewal of that contest in Saturday's £400,000 G2 Sky Bet City of York S. on the Knavesmire. Positioned fourth through halfway, the 5-1 chance made smooth headway into contention in the straight and quickened smartly underneath the stands' side rail inside the final furlong to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths from Pogo (Ire) (Zebedee {GB}). Sandrine kept on well to finish 1 1/2 lengths further adrift in third.
