CALASITA (IRE) (Zarak {Fr}) makes her debut in timely fashion just days after her illustrious half-brother Calandagan (Gleneagles) sealed European champion status at Ascot. Francis Graffard introduces The Aga Khan Studs homebred against a cast that includes Prince Faisal's Sindalah (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), an Andre Fabre-trained half-sister to the international heavyweight horse sire Mishriff (Make Believe).

SUPERIOR CHOICE (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) debuts for Yuesheng Zhang and the Gosdens in the race won in 2020 by Hurricane Lane and is a standout as a 1.1 million gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase. A son of the Prix de Royallieu and Ribblesdale heroine Loving Dream (Gleneagles), he encounters fellow newcomer Waves Of The Sea (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum's homebred from the Richard Hannon stable whose dam is kin to Dubawi himself.
