Last month's Listed Star Stakes runner-up Anshoda (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}--Silk Fan {Ire}, by Unfuwain) was acquired by Team Valor and Gary Barber after that black-type debut and stepped forward to claim a career high in Saturday's G3 William Hill Prestige Fillies' Stakes at Goodwood. Anshoda was positioned behind the leaders in fourth for most of this pattern-race bow. Nudged along to reduced arrears soon after turning for home, the 4-1 chance came under sterner urging to go second approaching the furlong pole and was driven out to defeat...

Amo Racing's Angelo Buonarroti (Justify--Curlylocks {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) was the second highest-priced lot when selling for €1-million at Arqana's Breeze-Up sale earlier this year and went some way to justifying that lofty price tag with a breakthrough success in Friday's British Stallion Studs EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes at York. The February-foaled chestnut, who first went through the ring for $135,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, was initially trained by Dominic Ffrench Davis, but was transferred to the Raphael Freire yard before posting a three-length debut ninth when highly tried...

Easing...

Clive Cox trainee Diligently (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}--Anna Of Lorraine {GB}, by Dutch Art {GB}) had failed to strike in five prior outings, but timed his breakthrough success to perfection and swooped late to garner Thursday's £626,462 Harry's Half Million By Goffs Premier Yearling Stakes at York.

The Isa Salman Al Khalifa-William Haggas axis, fresh from celebrating the victory of Economics (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) in Thursday's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano, added lustre to that success as connections' Jewelry (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}--Simply A Star {Ire}, by Giant's Causeway) made an impressive debut in Friday's Tom Mitchell 70th Birthday Celebration British EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes at Newbury.

Ralph Beckett trainee Stanhope Gardens (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}--Pure Art {GB}, by Dutch Art {GB}) shaped with a great deal of promise when third behind the 'TDN Rising Star' performance of Ruling Court (Justify) at Sandown last month and became his freshman sire's first winner by dominating Wednesday's New 911 EBF Maiden Stakes at Beverley.
