FADILLAH (GB) (Monsun {Ger}) puts TDN Rising Star status on the line, with trainer William Haggas treading steadily with Saleh Al Homaizi and Imad Al Sagar's €1.2million ARQAUG half-sister to the G1SW and GI Canadian International third Seismos (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) from the family of Samum (Ger) et al. This is no soft touch, however, as this smart little race also features Godolphin's Bombilate (Kitten's Joy), a Charlie Appleby trainee whose dam is a half to Untapable (Tapit) and Paddy O'Prado (El Prado {Ire}).

Also debuting is Godolphin's Blair House (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), a Charlie Appleby-trained colt whose dam is a full-sister to Poet's Voice (GB).
