CLASSICAL SONG (IRE) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) was a big deal at the Arqana May Breeze Up as the fourth highest-priced filly and now starts out in the colours of Doreen Tabor for this maiden won in recent times by Amazing Maria (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) and Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Ralph Beckett has charge of the half-sister to the triple Group 1 winner Dylan Mouth (Ire) (Dylan Thomas {Ire}), whose peers include Michael Blencowe's similarly-unraced Imperial Express (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), an Andrew Balding-trained half-sister to the G1 Phoenix S.-winning sire Ebro River (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}).
