[Wandering Eyes]

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. Friday's Observations features a full-brother to a modern-day great.

2.20 Ascot, Mdn, 2yo, 7fT
RAAHEEB (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is the day's big news, as the ninth foal out of Shadwell's elite broodmare Aghareed (Kingmambo) responsible so far for one of the best to grace the silks in Baaeed and also the King George hero Hukum. Both were by this colt's sire, with the latter's trainer Owen Burrows entrusted with the care of the latest highly promising homebred. In against him are Al Shaqab and Amo Racing's 500,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase Behike (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), a George Scott-trained relative of Dutch Art, and TBT Racing's Norman Invasion (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), an Ed Walker-trained €480,000 Arqana May Breeze-Up graduate whose family features Legatissimo, and Fame And Glory.

JOULANY (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is another by the sire to take the eye, being an 800,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase who is a full-brother to the evergreen multiple Group winner and Group 1-placed Al Aasy. Al Shaqab Racing, Amo Racing and Valmont share the Ralph Beckett-trained colt, whose peers include Shadwell's similarly-unraced Yazin (GB) (New Bay {GB}), a John and Thady Gosden-trained relative of the Group 1 winner Tawkeel.
