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}).

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.

DOOM (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is the fourth foal out of the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf and GI Beverly D.

CASTLE WAY (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}) shaped with abundant promise when second in a Newmarket maiden last month and is arguably the one to take out of that race which has hosted Motivator (GB), Frankel (GB), Roaring Lion and Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in the past. Godolphin's Charlie Appleby-trained 425,000gns Book 1 graduate and half-brother to the high-class multiple Group 1-winning Palace Pier (GB) (Kingman {GB}) encounters a William Haggas-trained newcomer in Garden Route (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a son of the G1 S A Nursery winner Cloth Of Cloud (SAf) (Captain Al {SAf}) from the family of Artie Schiller (El Prado {Ire}) who represents Magnier/Shanahan/Nagle/Kantor.

CHASING THE SUN (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) was a €600,000 purchase at the Arqana Deauville August Yearling Sale by virtue of the fact that she is a half-sister to the G3 Prix de Lieurey winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp-placed Wind Chimes (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).
