TEMPUS (GB) (Kingman {GB}) makes his seasonal bow for Khalid Abdullah and Roger Charlton with one promising debut run behind him having been second in a decent Nottingham maiden in October. A son of the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner Passage of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}) and therefore a half-brother to the stable’s classy Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) who was later runner-up in the GI Manhattan S. and GI Fourstardave H. Under Chad Brown, he meets some notably-bred newcomers. They include Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum’s Abr Al Hudood (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), a Hugo Palmer-trained daughter of the South African Classic winner Amanee (Aus) (Pivotal {GB}) and Sheikha Al Jalila Racing’s Nonchalance (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), a John Gosden-trained granddaughter of the stable’s G1 Fillies’ Mile winner Playful Act (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells) and therefore connected to Nathaniel (Ire).
