MUDBIR (GB) (Kingman {GB}) is one of the key players on an intriguing card made up mainly of 2-year-old contests, being Shadwell's half-brother to the G1 Prince of Wales's Stakes hero Mostahdaf (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) and the G1 Falmouth Stakes and G1 Sun Chariot Stakes winner Nazeef (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}). Like that talented duo, John and Thady Gosden have charge of the homebred son of Handassa (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) whose peers include Juddmonte's Pinhole (GB) (Frankel {GB}), a Sir Michael Stoute-trained full-brother to the G1 Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral (GB).

THE CURSOR (GB) (Frankel {GB}) is introduced by Andrew Balding over an extreme trip for a juvenile, which may give a clue as to the stamina expectations of this son of the G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Villa Marina (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}). Representing King Power Racing, the 400,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate meets Godolphin's 1million gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase Arabian Poet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), the Charlie Appleby-trained son of Shastye (Ire) (Danehill) who was seventh on debut on the July Course here in August.
