    • Amo Racing's Tattersalls October Book 1 millionaire Ancient Egypt (Frankel) registered a half-length debut win tackling an extended seven furlongs at Beverley last month and delivered a TDN Rising Star performance, racing under a seven-pound penalty, upped to one mile in Sunday's British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Goodwood. “It was a messy, stop-start race, but the benefit was that he had something to aim at,” said Charlie Johnston. “He was still a little bit gawky when he did hit the front and it looked to me that there was plenty in the tank and that's what [rider] Rowan [Scott] says so it was very promising for the future. Today was about more education for the horse–he's a big playboy with a big personality to go with the ability and that's why I was keen to go for another novice before going up in grade.” Looking ahead, the trainer added, “I'd like to think he'll only get better with experience and you don't mind a bit of fire when you've got one with this much ability. He's in the [G2] Royal Lodge and that was in the back of my mind, but that said it's all about next year. He's going to be a serious three-year-old and anything we do this year will be with that in mind. He looks ready for ten furlongs even now, so you wouldn't think that twelve wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility next year.” The 11-4 chance allowed the leader some measure of comfort and raced in second after an alert getaway. Taking closer order soon after halfway, he bounded to the fore approaching the quarter-mile marker and kept on powerfully under late urging to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths from Alfaraz (Nathaniel) in impressive fashion.       Ancient Egypt is fifth of six foals and one of three scorers out of a winning full-sister to multiple Group 1-winning distaffer Midday (Oasis Dream). His dam Atone (Oasis Dream) is also kin to Group 3-winning G1 Nassau Stakes third Hot Snap (Pivotal), Group 3-winning G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares third Sun Maiden (Frankel) and the dual Group 3-placed Listed Gosford Gold Cup victor Midsummer Sun (Monsun). Midday's quartet of black-type performers is headed by the dual Group 3 winner Midterm (Galileo). The March-foaled bay is a half-brother to G3 Park Express Stakes runner-up Redressed (Le Havre) and a yearling colt by Lucky Vega.   5th-Goodwood, £30,000, Nov, 8-24, 2yo, 8fT, 1:38.68, g/f.

    • Aron Wellman, the managing partner for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, has confirmed that GI Preakness and GI Haskell Stakes winner Journalism (Curlin) will make his next start in Saturday's Pacific Classic at Del Mar. The decision came after Journalism worked five furlongs in 1:00 Saturday at Del Mar. The $1 million race to be run on Aug. 30 will mark his first appearance against older horse. The field is also expected to included Nysos (Nyquist) and, possibly Fierceness (City of Light).

    • Monday, Ripon, post time: 15:15, THE BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF RIPON CHAMPION TWO YRS OLD TROPHY-Listed, £40,000, 2yo, 6fT Field: Al Shaham (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Amorim (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Anaisa (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Awraad (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Lam Yai (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Saucy Jane (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Temple Of Athena (GB) (Magna Grecia {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Seemingly trained specifically for this by the Crisfords, who have won three of the last five runnings, the £200,000 Goffs UK Breeze-Up purchase Al Shaham will be a warm order after two course-and-distance novice wins by a cumulative margin of 6 3/4 lengths. Amorim may have been well-beaten by the Prix Morny-bound Wise Approach when third in Newbury's Listed Rose Bowl Stakes, but that form looks a lot better after the runner-up Rock On Thunder went so close in the Gimcrack on Friday.

    • Lightly-campaigned for a five-year-old, Haras de la Perelle's homebred Quisisana put yet another feather in the cap of the Stud and her high-achieving late sire Le Havre when taking Sunday's G1 Sumbe Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville. Coming into the 10-furlong contest off a clear-cut win in Chantilly's Listed Prix de la Pepiniere, the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained 7-1 shot travelled smoothly for Christophe Soumillon and when given the command seized the advantage approaching the furlong marker. At the line, she had 1 3/4 lengths to spare over Survie (Churchill {Ire}), who was a nose in front of Grand Stars (Sea The Stars) for a French one-two-three. Godolphin's 11-10 favourite Cinderella's Dream (Shamardal) ran flat in fourth, just ahead of Ballydoyle's unlucky Bedtime Story (Frankel). “I have always adored this mare and was sure to win this race with her last year, but unfortunately she had another problem,” Graffard explained. “I have spent a lot of time on the phone giving bad news to her owner Mr Winter, but he has always supported me and kept faith in my judgement when I asked him to keep her in training. This a great reward and I'm delighted for him and the Stud.” “She has a lot of class, will appreciate soft ground and will stay a mile and a half, but the worry with her is keeping her sound,” he added. “I just learned that this race is part of the Arc Series program–she is not entered, but with this win she is eligible to run if we accept the free entry within two weeks so we will discuss that. She is also in the Opera. My good geldings can't run in the Arc, so she could be the one to represent the stable.”     Sunday, Deauville, France SUMBE PRIX JEAN ROMANET-G1, €400,000, Deauville, 8-24, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT, 2:05.73, gd. 1–QUISISANA (FR), 130, m, 5, by Le Havre (Ire) 1st Dam: Quamoclit (GB), by Sea The Stars (Ire) 2nd Dam: Quezon Sun (Ger), by Monsun (Ger) 3rd Dam: Quezon City (Ger), by Law Society 1ST GROUP WIN; 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.
