Observations on the European Racing Scene

Camelot

7.20 Leopardstown, Mdn, €17,500, 2yo, 8fT
ARTHUR'S KINGDOM (IRE) (Camelot (GB)">Camelot {GB}) is one of two from Ballydoyle in this six-runner affair and an intriguing newcomer as a half-brother to the triple GI Canadian International hero Joshua Tree (Ire) by Camelot's sire Montjeu (Ire). Joining the €260,000 Goffs Orby graduate is stablemate Toronto (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a half-brother to Canford Cliffs (Ire) who was fifth over seven furlongs here last month, while they meet Jon Kelly's Hint of Stars (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), a 115,000gns TATOCT Jessie Harrington-trained son of the G1 Preis der Diana heroine Rosenreihe (Ire) (Catcher In the Rye {Ire})

8.30 Lingfield, Novice, £5,800, 2yo, 6f (AWT)
CHEROKEE MIST (City Zip) was a $500,000 Keeneland September Yearling purchase by Godolphin whose dam is a half to the multiple graded-stakes scorer and 'TDN Rising Star' Gamble's Ghost (Ghostzapper). Charlie Appleby lines up the May-foaled chestnut colt against Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's similarly-unraced filly Top Class Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), a Richard Hannon-trained €240,000 Goffs Orby buy whose listed-placed dam is connected to Bungle Inthejungle (GB).
