RIBBON OF SEA (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is a significant Godolphin runner for Charlie Appleby's stable on an intriguing “Newmarket Nights” card full of tantalising prospects, being a full-sister to the G1 Prix de Royallieu heroine Sea Silk Road who cost 1.6 million gns at Tattersalls October Book 1. Among her peers is the similarly-unraced Legacy Link (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Juddmonte's first foal out of the Galileo mare Chiasma, gold dust as a full-sister to Frankel and Noble Mission, who races for John and Thady Gosden.

GAURDMAN (IRE) (Blue Point {Ire}) was one of the focal points of the Arqana May Breeze Up, with KHK Racing going to €900,000 for the half-brother to two Listed performers. Roger Varian has charge of the exciting juvenile, whose opponents include another pricey newcomer in Saeed Suhail's 340,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate Crown Office (GB) (No Nay Never), a William Haggas-trained son of Antonia De Vega who boasted the rare distinction of beating Alpinista in the G3 Princess Royal Stakes.
