First Winner For Mondialiste At Beverley

Haras d'Annebault's first-season sire Mondialiste (Ire) (by Galileo {Ire}) was off the mark on Monday as Hester Prynne (GB) took the five-furlong Kiplingcotes Restricted Novice S. at Beverley. A 60,000gns Tattersalls December Foal Sale graduate who races for the sire's owners Geoff and Sandra Turnbull, the David O'Meara-trained filly was keen early in mid-division but had enough in reserve to deliver a withering effort and reel in Alaskan Jewel (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) close home for a length success at odds of 9-2.

The winner is a half-sister to the G2 Goldene Peitsche hero Donnerschlag (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}), Hwt. Older Horse-Ger at 5-7f, MGSW-Ger, $162,665, to the G3 Round Tower S. third De Boss Man (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), and to the Listed Prix Six Perfections winner Izzy Bizu (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}). The listed-placed dam, who also has a yearling full-brother to the winner, is a half to the G2 King's Stand S. third Funny Valentine (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and to the dam of the G3 Sandown Sprint S. winner Resplendent Glory (Ire) (Namid {GB}).

Lingfield Derby Trial For High Definition

Group winner and 'TDN Rising Star' High Definition (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is likely to step forward in the Listed Lingfield Derby Trial on May 8 trainer Aidan O'Brien has revealed. A winner of a maiden at The Curragh at first asking on Aug. 22, the bay added the G2 Beresford S. to his resume there on Sept. 26 and is currently favoured for the G1 Cazoo Derby on June 5th.

“We're thinking of going to Lingfield,” said O'Brien. “He needs to start and with all the trials we're just trying to split them up. He's a baby and we're worried about Lingfield, but we have to learn. What's different about him is his stride is half a stride longer than everything else. He's going to learn a lot.”

The master of Ballydoyle also had an update on his G1 QIPCO 2000 Guineas trio.

Van Gogh (American Pharoah) ran well. He's probably a horse for the Derby–stepping up in trip,” said O'Brien. “Battleground  (War Front) cruised with Frankie [Dettori] down past halfway and when he asked him he got disunited as he changed (his legs) in front and didn't change behind. When that happens, it's like a wheel flying off a car, so that was it gone with him.

“Ryan's [Moore] horse [Wembley (Ire) (Galileo {Ire})) ran well. He just felt when they started quickening down into the dip he got a bit disorganised. He ran here [Newmarket] before on soft ground, but it's a big difference on fast ground. I think he'll step forward a good bit from that run.”

Cable Bay’s Dragon Symbol A New Rising Star

Unbeaten on the all-weather with three wins at Wolverhampton, Newcastle and Kempton coming by a combined margin of 12 1/2 lengths since the start of March, Yoshiro Kubota's Dragon Symbol (GB) (Cable Bay {GB}) made his first turf start an impressive one to earn TDN Rising Star status at Hamilton on Sunday. Sent off the 11-8 favourite to transform that prowess to the grass in the valuable MansionBet Best Odds Guaranteed EBF Tangerine Trees Conditions S., the Archie Watson-trained grey raced keenly tracking the early pace dropping back to five furlongs for the first time. In front passing the two-furlong pole, the grey did his familiar thing and went clear from there to register a 3 1/4-length verdict over the solid yardstick Significantly (GB) (Garswood {GB}). Jockey Adam McNamara was impressed. “He travelled really well considering five is probably a bit sharp for him,” he said of sire Cable Bay's first 'TDN Rising Star'. “I don't think he's ever galloped on grass at home, but Archie's horses are so straightforward it doesn't matter. He's in the [June 15] G1 King's Stand [at Royal Ascot] and I'm not sure where he'll go, but I'd hazard a guess and say he's more likely to go to the [G1] Commonwealth [Cup at Royal Ascot June 18]. He keeps improving somehow and is a very good one. I got a lead, as he was a little bit keen in front for Oisin [Murphy] the last day and he travelled beautifully. I galloped him a couple of months ago and said to Archie he could be an 85 horse, but he keeps finding and he looks a very good one. He's going to win a big one very soon, hopefully. It's not every day you get to ride one like that.” The winner is the first foal out of a half-sister to the listed-winning duo Smart Enough (GB) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and Oasis Dancer (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) whose dam is the G1 Prix Saint-Alary third Good Enough (Fr) (Mukaddamah). She is also the second dam of the recent Listed Sean Barrett Bloodstock S. winner Laugh a Minute (GB) (Mayson {GB}), who was also placed in the G3 Prix de Meautry and G3 Chipchase S., and this stable's Endless Joy (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) who was third in the G3 Firth of Clyde S. The dam, who also hails from the family of the G1 Cheveley Park S. heroine Seazun (Ire) (Zieten), has a 2-year-old filly by Postponed (Ire) and a yearling colt by Adaay (Ire).

Broome Headlines Monday Sport

The Curragh is all action on Monday, with the G2 Coolmore Sottsass Irish EBF Mooresbridge S. the key component of a fascinating card. Aidan O'Brien has opted to wait longer to unleash Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and instead puts forward the reinvigorated Broome (Ire) (Australia {GB}), who looks to be in a good place this year with wins on soft ground in the Listed Devoy S. at Naas Mar. 28 and on a much slicker surface in the Apr. 17 G3 Alleged S. over this 10-furlong trip. Beaten around half a length when fourth in the 2019 G1 Epsom Derby, the bay who races in the Masaaki Matsushima silks is on his way back to that kind of level and even gets three pounds from the reigning G1 Melbourne Cup hero Twilight Payment (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}). That contest follows the Listed Gain First Flier S. for juveniles, where another Ballydoyle representative is the likely favourite in the impressive Apr. 10 Dundalk maiden winner Cadamosto (Ire) (No Nay Never). He encounters Donnacha's similarly taking Apr. 20 Tipperary scorer Elliptic (Ire) who looks to provide Caravaggio with his first black-type winner.

Also on the card is the seven-furlong G3 Coolmore Stud Circus Maximus Irish EBF Athasi S., where last year's G1 Matron S. heroine Champers Elysees (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}) makes her keenly-anticipated return in the Teruya Yoshida colours. Racing under a five-pound penalty, she also has a hefty extra 12-pound weight-for-age burden taking on another notable Rosegreen runner in the five-length course-and-distance maiden winner Queen's Speech (American Pharoah). Trainer Johnny Murtagh is aware of the task facing Champers Elysees and said, “It can be difficult with a penalty, but it's a good starting place for her. She's strengthened up and there's a big year ahead for her. There are a few nice fillies' races and we're looking forward to Royal Ascot with her. We're not sure which race yet. We'll have to see how tomorrow goes.”

Over the same trip is the Listed Dick McCormick Irish EBF Tetrarch S., where Zhang Yuesheng's Ace Aussie (Ire) (Australia {GB}) reappears having been just 1 1/2 lengths off Poetic Flare (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) when runner-up in the Listed Ballylinch Stud 2000 Guineas Trial over this distance at Leopardstown Apr. 11.
