2.30 Redcar, Novice, £8,000, 2yo, 9fT
DESERT HERO (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status on debut at Haydock in June before finishing third to Silver Knott (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) in Sandown's G3 Solario S. and William Haggas has opted for a confidence boost at this North East circuit. The King's relative of Dartmouth (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) should relish this extra two furlongs and should be winning this with ease to stay in Classic contention for 2023.

Freshman Sire Havana Grey Off The Mark at Redcar

Whitsbury Manor Stud resident Havana Grey (GB) (Havana Gold {Ire}) notched his first winner when David O'Meara-trained debutante Star of Lady M (GB) battled to victory in Monday's Flat Is Back On Racing TV Fillies' Restricted Novice S. at Redcar. The 15,000gns Tattersalls October Book 3 yearling went postward as the 9-2 second choice for the straight five-furlong test and broke well to race in a prominent second from the outset. Shaken up passing the quarter-mile marker, she gained a narrow advantage approaching the final furlong and was driven out in the closing stages to assert by 3/4-of-a-length from Brocklesby runner-up Primrose Ridge (GB) (Aclaim {Ire}).

Star of Lady M is the second foal and scorer produced by a winning daughter of Pulitzer (Bernardini), herself an unraced half-sister to MG1SW sire Fantastic Light (Rahy) and MG1SP Listed Pretty Polly S. victrix Hi Dubai (GB) (Rahy). The March-foaled grey is half to a yearling filly by Showcasing (GB).

Observations: Half To Subjectivist Starts Out at Redcar

3.15 Redcar, Novice, £10,000, 2yo, f, 7f 219y (AWT)
WORLD WITHOUT LOVE (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}) makes her debut on the card at the Northern seaside venue for her owner-breeder Mascalls Stud and trainer Mark Johnston, who has achieved so much with her half-brothers Subjectivist (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) and Sir Ron Priestley (GB) (Australia {GB}) and half-sister Alba Rose (GB) (Muhaarar (GB}). The dam Reckoning (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) already looked a top producer before the G1 Gold Cup victory of Subjectivist and G2 Jockey Club S. and G2 Princess of Wales's S. heroics of Sir Ron Priestley in the past months and while this March-foaled chestnut will probably need time, Alba Rose did have the precocity to finish third in last year's G2 Rockfel S.
