Back in vogue when successful in last month's seven-furlong G2 City of York S. on the Knavesmire, Marc Chan's 'TDN Rising Star' Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Ceilidh House {GB}, by Selkirk) continued his renaissance at his specialist distance with a one-length victory over the same trip in Sunday's G2 Cazoo Park S. at Doncaster.
Positioned third in the slipstream of eventual third Al Suhail (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) through the early fractions, the odds-on favourite quickened beyond that rival approaching the final furlong and was comfortably on top in the closing stages as New Energy (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) reduced arrears nearing the line.
“At seven furlongs, on fast ground or soft ground, he's a star,” claimed Frankie Dettori. “He doesn't know how to run a bad race and he did what he had to do. He enjoyed himself and so did I.”
Kinross will now be primed for another crack at next month's G1 Prix de la Foret, a race in which he finished fourth last year. “He got a bit far back in it last year, but we'll look forward to it,” trainer Ralph Beckett added. “As Frankie said, we know each other now and I'd imagine we'll go straight there, After that we'll see.”
Pedigree Notes
Kinross, kin to the unraced 2-year-old colt Seahouses (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), is the fifth of six foals and one of four scorers produced by Listed Gillies Fillies' S. victress Ceilidh House (GB) (Selkirk), herself kin to the dam of G3 Solario S. winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains runner-up First Selection (Spa) (Diktat {GB}). His dual stakes-winning second dam Villa Carlotta (GB) (Rainbow Quest), herself a daughter of multiple stakes-winning G3 Rockfel S. second Subya (GB) (Night Shift) from the family of G1 Irish Derby-winning sire Law Society (Alleged), is a half to GI Hollywood Derby second Battle of Hastings (GB) (Royal Applause {GB}) and to the stakes-placed dam of South African Grade 1 performers Mljet (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) and Felix The Cat (SAf) (Black Minnaloushe).
