Noble Style Returns At Newmarket

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. Friday's Observations features the return of a 'TDN Rising Star'.

5.10 Newmarket, Novice, £8,000, 2yo, 6fT
NOBLE STYLE (GB) (Kingman {GB}) makes his eagerly-awaited return from a setback that ruled him out of the G2 Coventry S., having been one of the forecast favourites for that contest after his impressive Ascot debut win. Earning TDN Rising Star status in that five-furlong novice in May, he has been sidelined while the fourth-placed Royal Scotsman (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) has gone from strength to strength as one of the year's leading juveniles. Charlie Appleby could have run the 525,000gns Book 1 graduate in Thursday's G2 Richmond S. against that rival, but opted instead for a softer reintroduction which can conceivably only be disrupted by the Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Doncaster maiden winner Mill Stream (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}).

Kingman’s Highbank Earns TDN Rising Star Tag At Newmarket

Charlie Appleby sent out Godolphin's subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Modern Games (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) to garner last term's renewal of Newmarket's Discover Newmarket British EBF Maiden S. and the local operation has another likely sort to go forward after 750,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate Highbank (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) powered to 'TDN Rising Stardom' with a taking display in this year's edition of the seven-furlong heat. Settled off the tempo in seventh through halfway, the 4-1 chance made eyecatching headway inside the final quarter mile to gain control passing the furlong marker and quickened clear in impressive fashion to account for stablemate Bold Act (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}) by 3 3/4 lengths.

“He is a horse that we have got a bit of experience with the family with having had Bay Of Poets,” explained trainer Charlie Appleby. “Whatever he did today there was going to be marked improvement. He had done some good work at home and I told [rider] Jack [Mitchell] to teach him to race the right way. Today was a learning day and his class prevailed. He travelled very well and picked up well. I've not had chance to speak to Jack, but visually it was impressive. We liked Bold Act too, so hopefully that is a useful pointer, amd we will keep him at seven [furlongs] for the moment. I think he has got a lot of natural speed and we will probably look at something like the [G3] Solario S. [at Sandown]. I need to have a chat with the lads before making any firm decisions.”

Highbank is the latest of seven foals and fourth scorer out of a winning half-sister to G3 St Leger Italiano victor Burma Gold (Ire) (Java Gold) and Listed Prix Finlande runner-up Burma Sea (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), herself the dam of G3 Prix Eclipse winner Devil (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}). The April-foaled bay is a half-brother to Listed Prix Pelleas victor and G2 Al Rashidiya runner-up Bay Of Poets (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}). Bristol Bay's full-sister Burning Heights {Ire}) is the dam of G3 Killavullan S. scorer Blue De Vega (Ger) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and the second dam of G2 Premio Lydia Tesio victrix Angel Power (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). Highbank's second dam Bougainvillea (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}) is a full-sister to G1 Deutsches Derby and G1 Grosser Preis von Baden heroine Borgia (Ger) as well as being a half-sister to  G1 Deutsches Derby and G1 Coronation Cup-winning sire Boreal (Ger) (Java Gold).

Kingman Colt A New Rising Star At Sandown

Juddmonte's hitherto unraced 2-year-old colt Nostrum (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Mirror Lake (GB) (MSW & GSP-Eng, $113,061), by Dubai Destination) was let go at odds of 13-2 for Thursday's Martin Densham Memorial EBF Maiden S. at Sandown and came home with a 'TDN Rising Star' after producing a taking display in a contest won last year by subsequent G2 Queen's Vase second Zechariah (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}). The homebred bay was bustled along from the gates to occupy a forward pitch in second after the initial strides of the seven-furlong test. Making eyecatching headway from the three-furlong pole, he powered to the front passing the quarter-mile marker and was pushed out inside the final furlong to easily defeat Golden Speech (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by an impressive three lengths.

“He's a big horse and had been doing well at home,” said Ryan Moore. “I thought he might be a little raw and if he started slowly he might not get organised at all, but I was able to get him into a good position and get a lead. He was left in front a long way out, which I didn't want to be, and every time I asked him he kept lengthening. There's plenty of improvement in him and I'd say he's more of a 3-year-old than a 2-year-old. He'll have no problem going a mile and may get a little further. He's a nice colt.”

Nostrum is the seventh foal and scorer produced by the dual stakes-winning G3 Prestige S. runner-up Mirror Lake (GB) (Dubai Destination), herself a half-sister to the dam of Listed Lanwades Stud S. victrix Hateya (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}). The March-foaled homebred bay is a half-brother to dual Group-winning G1 C F Orr S. runner-up Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) and Listed Heatherlie S. victor Titus (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Descendants of his third dam Roupala (Vaguely Noble {Ire}) include this term's G1 Saudi Cup hero Emblem Road (Quality Road), multiple Grade I-winning distaffer Ventura (Chester House) and dual elite-level winners Queen Supreme (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) and Harlem (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}).

Goffs November Sensation Debuts For Juddmonte

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. Thursday's Observations features a co-topper of the 2020 Goffs November Foals Sale.

1.50 Sandown, Mdn, £9,900, 2yo, 7fT
ARREST (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was, at €440,000, one of a trio who shared top billing at the 2020 Goffs November Foals Sale when secured by Juddmonte. Introduced by John and Thady Gosden, the half-brother to the Hong Kong Group 3 winner Dinozzo (Ire) (Lilbourne Lad {Ire}) from the family of the G1 Nassau S. runner-up Narniyn (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) is one of two representatives of the operation in the line-up along with the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Nostrum (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a half-brother to the dual Group 3 scorer Imaging (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).

 

6.38 Newbury, Mdn, £9,999, 2yo, f, 7fT
PREPENSE (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is another notable debutante for Juddmonte on Thursday, being a full-sister to the high-class dual Group 2-winning sire Headman (GB) and a half to the GII Baltimore/Washington International Turf Cup winner Projected (GB) (Showcasing {GB}). Sir Michael Stoute introduces the March-foaled bay, whose rivals include Bjorn Nielsen's John and Thady Gosden-trained Cruella De Vill (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a half-sister to the famed Lillie Langtry (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}).

 

7.00 Leopardstown, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, 8fT
TOWER OF LONDON (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}), a full-brother to the Irish Derby and St Leger hero Capri (Ire), is the latest juvenile to emerge from Ballydoyle's fully-loaded cannon in 2022. Jim Bolger won this 12 months ago and relies on the fellow newcomer Fleetfoot (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), a grandson of the GI Personal Ensign S. and GI Beldame S. heroine Fleet Indian (Indian Charlie) who was a €135,000 Goffs February purchase from the Shadwell draft owned by the Bolgers and Frederik Tylicki.
