Providing the perfect follow-up for the reintroduction of his half-sister Nashwa (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the feature G1 Sun Chariot Stakes, Imad Al Sagar's newcomer Nebras (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}–Princess Loulou {Ire}, by Pivotal {GB}) lit up Newmarket's Saturday card by becoming his sire's 45th TDN Rising Star in the mile maiden. Purchased for 725,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 1, the John and Thady Gosden-trained chestnut was switched off in rear early by Hollie Doyle whose body language spoke volumes preparing for the downhill slide into the dip.
Picking up with an impressive flourish towards the far side, the 100-30 shot was in front a furlong out and only needed to be kept up to his work to secure a cosy half-length verdict over the experienced Wild Nature (GB) (Kingman {GB}), with the Shadwell newcomer Nakeeb (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) three lengths behind in third.
“That was a taking performance,” Doyle said. “He could have won that in the paddock. He went to sleep early and then really surprised me how quickly he put the race to bed. He has a great mind, but is big and raw and burly.”
