Al Asayl's homebred Map Of Stars (GB) Sea The Stars {Ire}--Bateel {Ire}, by Dubawi {Ire}) notched a one-length tally going nine furlongs at ParisLongchamp last October, his only prior start, and stepped forward to justify 11-10 favouritism with a career high on seasonal return in Monday's Listed Prix Pelleas at Compiegne.
