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. Today's Observations features the daughter of a Juddmonte International-winning mare.

PRIVATE SIGNAL (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) was a 680,000gns purchase by Godolphin at the Tattersalls October Book 1 Sale, largely due to him being out of a half to the G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Nassau S. and G1 Matron S. heroine Legatissimo (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Charlie Appleby has charge of the March-foaled bay, who is also linked to Fame and Glory (GB) and who faces eight rivals on this debut.

Also a granddaughter of the dual G2 Lancashire Oaks winner Barshiba (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}), the March-foaled chestnut has eight peers to deal with on debut.
