Anthony Oppenheimer’s April-foaled colt was withdrawn from his intended first start at Ascot last week by John Gosden and instead encounters a Godolphin representative here in Local Law (Dubawi {Ire}), a Charlie Appleby-trained son of the G1 Prix de l’Opera winner Lady Marian (Ger) (Nayef) which makes him a half-brother to the G2 Grand Prix de Deauville scorer Loxley (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}). 2.30 Dundalk, Mdn, €14,000, 2yo, 7fTCARTOUCHE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is the third foal out of the GI Ogden Phipps S. heroine Awesome Maria (Maria’s Mon) who was the $4-million topper when purchased by M V Magnier at the 2013 Keeneland November Sale.
