Verdict
Lumiere D'Or, second at Southwell in August, and Lady Pagasa are the pick of those with experience but there are a host of well-bred newcomers lining up to take them on. Morindoo is a half-sister to a winning miler while Topanga was a 230,000gns yearling. A full sister to the top-class Gifted Master and also a 6f winner, ENCHANTED LIFE cost 475,000gns and connections will be disappointed is she doesn’t start repaying some of that outlay sooner rather than later. Wellborn, by Kingman, is also interesting and Catherine Parr is a half-sister to three winners but the Charltons’ pair Alabama Anna and Flag Of Love may be seen to better effect next year.
