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.

Newsells Park Stud's hitherto unraced WARM GLOW (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) is a half-sister to G1 St Leger-winning sire Masked Marvel (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) and to the G3 Prix Penelope-winning dam of multiple Group 1-winning sire Waldgeist (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). The James Fanshawe-trained homebred encounters eight rivals in this unveiling.

Cayton Park Stud homebred KING OF NARNIA (GB) (Kingman {GB}) became upset in the stalls and was a late scratching from his intended debut at Kempton earlier this month. The April-foaled bay is a John and Thady Gosden-conditioned half-brother to four stakes performers headed by multiple Group 1-winning dual South African champion Oh Susanna (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) and the dual Group 1-placed Signore Fox (Aus) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}). He is opposed by a half-dozen in this belated first go.
