KISS FOR A JEWEL (IRE) (Kingman (GB)">Kingman {GB}) has it all, pedigree-wise, being by the sire of the moment out of the G2 British Champions Fillies & Mares Turf winner Sapphire (Ire) (Medicean {GB}). Moyglare Stud's homebred has smart form too, having finished runner-up in an extended mile maiden at the Galway track so close to trainer Dermot Weld's heart, and expectations will be high as she takes on Khalid Abdullah's Kaftan (GB) (Dansili {GB}), a Ger Lyons trainee whose dam is a sister to the classy middle-distance performer Day Flight (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and half to the former 'TDN Rising Star' and G3 Prestige S. winner Sense of Pride (GB) also by Dansili.

2.05 Naas, Cond, €40,000, 2yo, 5fT
PISTOLETTO (War Front">War Front) earned 'TDN Rising Star' status with a 5 1/2-length debut win at Tipperary last month and is looking at a possible Royal Ascot date. Ballydoyle's full-brother to the dual GI Rodeo Drive S. heroine Avenge faces three in this “Coolmore Gustav Klimt Race”.
