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 Observations features a daughter of MG1SW Attraction (GB) (Efisio {GB}).

14.30 Ffos Las, Mdn, £6,800, 3yo/up, 8fT
Fairlawns Racing's 3-year-old colt SAYF AL DAWLA (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is the 11th foal produced by MG1SW European champion Attraction (GB) (Efisio {GB}) and thus a full-brother to MGSW sire and G1 Juddmonte International placegetter Elarqam (GB). Peter Chapple-Hyam's representative was knocked down to Phoenix Thoroughbreds for 525,000gns at Tattersalls' 2019 October Book 1 fixture and makes his belated debut in a modest affair at this Carmarthenshire venue. The April-foaled bay's six rivals include Shadwell's Moqadama (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), who is a Charles Hills-trained 390,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 full-sister to MGSP G2 Norfolk S. second Log Out Island (Ire) and G1 Diamond Jubilee and G1 July Cup fourth Khaadem (Ire).

1.35 Curragh, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, f, 7fT
CONCERT HALL (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) bids to build on a promising debut effort when second over what is probably an inadequate six-furlong trip at Fairyhouse 11 days previously in the maiden won 12 months ago by his stable's Snowfall (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}). The Smith/Magnier/Tabor/Westerberg representative, who is a daughter of the G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Was (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) from the family of New Approach (Ire), is joined by the fellow Ballydoyle runner Kiss You Later (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), an unraced daughter of the GI Santa Monica S. heroine Switch (Quiet American) who races for her breeder Moyglare Stud Farm and Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor.
