HADDAF (IRE) (c, 2, Dawn Approach (Ire)#tot">Dawn Approach {Ire}–Deveron {G1SP-Fr & GSP-Eng}, by Cozzene), who hit the board in Sandown's May 25 Listed National S. and ran 17th of 18 in Royal Ascot's June 20 G2 Coventry S. last time, was smartly away and duelled for the lead through the early strides of this one. Easing into an outright lead at halfway, the 2-5 lock was safely clear entering the final furlong and was pushed out in the closing stages to easily best Lyrical Pursuit (GB) (Poet's Voice {GB}) by four lengths. Registering a first success for his freshman sire (by New Approach {Ire}), the 85,000gns TATOCT yearling is the second black-type performer out of G1 Prix Marcel Boussac third Deveron (Cozzene) and is kin to Listed Fleur de Lys S. victress Lamar (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}). Deveron is a full-sister to MGSW GI Northern Dancer Turf S. third Windward Islands and has also produced a yearling filly by Kingman (GB). Lifetime Record: 5-1-1-2, $16,460.
