Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-bred horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Saturday's Observations features a daughter of Newspaperofrecord (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

13.40 Curragh, Mdn, €20,000, 2yo, f, 7fT
GISELLE (IRE) (Frankel {GB}) makes her eagerly-awaited return to the races, having faced what in hindsight was an impossible task in meeting her star stablemate Bedtime Story (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) at Leopardstown in June. Peter Brant, Coolmore and Westerberg's first foal out of the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine Newspaperofrecord (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) is joined by the fellow Ballydoyle representative Marinsky Theatre (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), an unraced daughter of the GI Belmont Oaks Invitational winner Athena (Ire) (Camelot {GB}) and full-sister to the dual group 3 scorer Never Ending Story (Ire).

 

15.50 Newmarket, Mdn, £21,000, 2yo, 8fT
NEBRAS (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is a significant runner on a card that already boasts his high-class half-sister Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the feature, representing the same Imad Al Sagar-John and Thady Gosden axis. A 725,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 graduate, he faces six peers on this unveiling.

 

16.25 Newmarket, Mdn, £20,000, 2yo, 7fT
SECRET THEORY (IRE) (Dubawi {Ire}) missed his intended debut here last month due to soft ground and Charlie Appleby is expecting a more suitable racing surface for Godolphin's half-brother to Dark Angel's grade I winners Mysterious Night (Ire) and Althiqa (GB) and half to the G2 Blue Point Sprint winner Star Of Mystery (GB) (Kodiac {GB}). Also in the royal blue is the John and Thady Gosden-trained Palmarian (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a half-brother to the G1 Jebel Hatta hero Blair House (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}).
