Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Wednesday's Observations features an €800,000 filly.
14.40 Lingfield, Debutantes, £6,300, 2yo, f, 6f (AWT)
CATHEDRAL (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) debuts for Amo Racing and the Ralph Beckett stable, with the tag attached of being the joint-top-priced filly at the Arqana May Breeze-Up at €800,000. Out of a daughter of the G1 Matron Stakes heroine Emulous (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and half-sister to the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes winner Bluestocking (GB) (Camelot {GB}), she holds an entry in next weekend's G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes so it will be interesting to see what connections decide if she makes the perfect start.
19.30 Kempton, Novice, £9,900, 2yo, 7f (AWT)
BYBLOS (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is a significant newcomer for Juddmonte, being a half-brother to the operation's G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas and G1 Phoenix Stakes hero Siskin (First Defence). Introduced by John and Thady Gosden at a track at which they have launched many smart types, the homebred encounters 13 peers.
