Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Friday's Insights features a son of the G1 English/Irish Oaks third Volume (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}).

QUORTO (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) debuts over a trip almost certainly shy of his ideal, being out of the G1 English and Irish Oaks third Volume (GB) (Mount Nelson {GB}). Charlie Appleby saddles two here, while John Gosden has a third in the Godolphin silks in the filly Handmaiden (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), whose dam is a half to the brilliant G1 English and Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Finsceal Beo (Ire) (Mr. Greeley) and G2 Mehl-Mulhens-Rennen winner Frozen Power (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}).
