ACTION (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) could hardly have shaped with more promise on debut at The Curragh last month and looks poised to build on that third placing behind fellow Ballydoyle runner New Zealand in a maiden the stable has performed well in. The third foal out of the G2 Queen Mary runner-up Gossamer Wings (Scat Daddy), the half-brother to the current Derby and Irish Derby hero Lambourn by Galileo's Australia is joined by the yard's newcomer Christmas Day (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), a 450,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 half-brother to the triple Grade III winner Missed The Cut. Meeting them is Imad Al Sagar's Spectical (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), a Jessica Harrington-trained half-brother to the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Lumiere (Shamardal) who cost €450,000 at Goffs Orby Book 1.
