KHALEESY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is just one of a bunch of regally bred newcomers taking part in this valuable maiden, but is easily the most immediately fascinating, being a daughter of the stellar sprinter Fleeting Spirit (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Al Asayl Bloodstock Ltd's 300,000gns Goffs foal purchase, whose dam peaked when winning the 2009 G1 July Cup here, represents the John Gosden stable and encounters Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar's Fol O'Yasmine (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a William Haggas-trained half-sister to the 2009 G2 Diadem S. scorer Sayif (Ire) (Kheleyf), as well as Khalid Abdullah's Vaunting (Exchange Rate), a Sir Michael Stoute-trained sister to this year's G3 Dahlia S. scorer Bragging.
