DIVINER (IRE) (f, 2, Charm Spirit {Ire}–Water Fountain {GB}, by Mark of Esteem {Ire}), an Apr. 29 debut seventh when trying five furlongs in the deep mud at Salisbury last time, adapted well to this surface and showed early dash to set a solid tempo. In command throughout, the 11-8 pick was asked to stretch off the home turn and received a couple of educational taps in the latter stages to easily account for Where's Perle (GB) (Kyllachy {GB}) by five lengths, becoming the first winner for her Haras de Bonneval-based freshman sire (by Invincible Spirit {Ire}). The €14,000 Goffs Orby yearling is also the third winner out of the untested Water Fountain (GB) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}) and she is a half-sister to G3 Meld S. third Ponfeigh (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) and a yearling filly by Make Believe (GB). Water Fountain, herself a daughter of MGSW G2 Prince of Wales's S. heroine English Spring (Grey Dawn II {Fr}), is kin to MGISP G3 Prix Cleopatre victress Spring Oak (GB) (Mark of Esteem {Ire}) and Listed Lupe S. winner Fragrant Hill (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}), who in turn produced six stakes performers headed by G1SW sire Fragrant Mis (Ire) (Linamix {Fr}) and G1 Prix Jean Romanet victress Alpine Rose (Fr) (Linamix {Fr}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $5,081. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
