JASH (IRE) (c, 2, Kodiac {GB}–Miss Azeza {GB}, by Dutch Art {GB}), sent off the well-supported 15-8 favourite, raced behind the early leaders and took time to organise running down the “dip”. Flashing his tail when the whip was applied but in total command after striking the front 1 1/2 furlongs out, the bay who holds an entry in the G1 Middle Park S. on the Rowley Mile here Sept. 29 drew away to register an impressive 4 1/2-length success from Dazzling Dan (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}). The dam, who has a yearling filly by No Nay Never to come, also won on her debut but was retired after twice refusing to race. She hails from the family of the G1 Fillies’ Mile and GI Yellow Ribbon S. heroine Hibaayeb (GB) (Singspiel {Ire}), whose daughter Wuheida (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) made her own headlines as the winner of the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac.
