Another Ascot Rising Star As Kingman’s Love Is You Excites

TDN Rising Stars kept coming at Ascot on Saturday, with Normandie Stud’s newcomer Love Is You (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) swooping to take the well-contested Moet & Chandon British EBF Fillies’ Novice S. over a mile at the Berkshire venue. A daughter of Fallen For You (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who had her finest hour over this course and distance when winning the 2012 G1 Coronation S., the homebred half-sister to last year’s G2 Hungerford S. winner Glorious Journey (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was held up early at the back by Jason Watson. Looking set for minor honours only as the 6-5 market-leader Monsoon Moon (GB) (Kingman {GB}) loomed with menace on the home turn, the 3-1 second favourite instead delivered a flourish as that half-sister to last year’s G1 St Leger hero Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}) began to fade in the closing stages. It was Godolphin’s prior winner Last Sunset (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) who looked to have edged it, but Love Is You was flying out wide and grabbed her in the final strides for a neck success, with Monsoon Moon eventually 1 1/4 lengths behind in third.

“She will have learnt plenty from that,” trainer Roger Charlton said of the G1 Fillies’ Mile entry. “She was very relaxed early on and I was concerned the game was up when the favourite cruised up, but she picked up well and her last furlong was her best. I think it was quite a decent field and the favourite will also improve a lot, as she looked to get tired. They are nice fillies and she won going away. I entered her in her group 1 three days ago, as she’s been pleasing us.”

Aside from winning the Coronation, Fallen For You was also second in the G2 May Hill S. as a juvenile and her second foal Glorious Journey was purchased for 2.6million gns at the 2016 Tattersalls October Sale Book 1. He went on to win the G2 Al Fahidi Fort, G3 Prix Daphnis and G3 Prix la Rochette as well as the aforementioned Hungerford, GSW-UAE, GSW-Eng, MGSW-Fr, $473,188. The second dam Fallen Star (GB) (Brief Truce) captured the Listed Silver Trophy and was runner-up in the G3 Premio Sergio Cumani before also producing the Listed Heron S. winner Fallen Idol (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). Also the ancestress of the G3 Prix de Flore winner Loving Things (GB) by Pivotal, she is kin to the G1 Lockinge S. hero Fly To the Stars (GB) (Bluebird) and National Day (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) who produced the G2 German 2000 Guineas scorer Peace At Last (Ire) (Oasis Dream {Ire}). Also connected to the G1 Levin Classic hero Age of Fire (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), Fallen For You’s unraced 3-year-old colt Turquoise Kingdom (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) was sold for 500,000gns at the Book 1 Sale, while she also has a foal full-sister to Love Is You to come.

MEGALLAN (GB) (Kingman {GB}) races under a seven-pound penalty following his impressive debut success over this course and distance earlier this month, with John Gosden intent on adding extra experience before he enters black-type company. Anthony Oppenheimer’s homebred son of the listed-winning and multiple graded-stakes-placed Eastern Belle (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), a half-sister to Golden Horn (GB), has to give that weight to Godolphin’s newcomer Visionary Ruler (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a Charlie Appleby-trained half-brother to the classy trio of Saint Baudolino (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), Avilius (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) and Well of Wisdom (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).

Palace Pier Works Toward Marois

Royal Ascot Group 1 winner Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}), who is unbeaten in four starts, worked well on Saturday in advance of the Aug. 19 G1 Prix Jacques le Marois, according to trainer John Gosden. The Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum colourbearer graduated on debut at Sandown last August and added a novice race there a month later before being shelved. Successful in a June 6 handicap at Newcastle over the all-weather, the bay saluted in the G1 St James’s Palace S. at Royal Ascot in his latest outing on June 20.

“Palace Pier worked well on Saturday and is looking at the Jacques le Marois, which I said he would go for right after he won the St James’s Palace S.,” said Gosden. “He is a young horse that is only three and he has only run four times in his life, so to that extent he is a progressive horse. Every time you go into these Group 1s it is hard and this time he is taking on older horses, not just 3-year-olds. He ran great at Ascot and I just think the straight mile at Deauville will really suit him. We are happy keeping him at a mile, but he will get a mile and a quarter in time. You could see that by the way he finished his race at Ascot.”

Gosden also provided an update on 2019 G1 St Leger S. winner Logician (GB) (Frankel {GB}), who has been out of action with peritonitis since his Leger score.

“Logician breezed on Saturday as well and is coming along fine,” Gosden added. “We are looking to run him in September, all being well-that’s the plan. I know the races we want to look at, but we won’t name them until closer to the time as when you do you often don’t get there.”
