Looming large approaching the final quarter mile, the 4-1 chance was soon in command and kept on well, despite rolling around in front, under urging in the closing stages to best Red Armada (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) by a half length. Kin to a yearling filly by Muhaarar (GB) and a colt foal by Frankel (GB), he is the third scorer from as many foals out of G1 Prix Jean Romanet and G1 Pretty Polly S. heroine Izzi Top (GB) (Pivotal {GB}), herself a half-sister to GSW G1 Prix de l’Opera second Jazzi Top (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) out of G1 Prix de l’Opera victress Zee Zee Top (GB) (Zafonic). The latter is a daughter of G1 Irish Oaks heroine Colorspin (GB) (High Top {Ire}) and is thus a half-sister to MG1SW sires Opera House (GB) (Sadler’s Wells) and Kayf Tara (GB) (Sadler’s Wells).
