MUBTASIM (IRE) (c, 2, Arcano {Ire}–Start the Music {Ire}, by King's Best), who scored with authority on debut at Yarmouth over six furlongs June 30, was sent off the 4-6 favourite and raced at the back of the tightly-compressed field travelling strongly throughout the early stages. Moving smoothly to lead approaching the furlong pole, the €22,000 GOFNOV foal and 38,000gns TATOCT yearling powered clear to record an impressive 4 1/2-length success from Town Charter (Lonhro {Aus}). The dam, who is a half-sister to the G1 Phoenix S. and G2 Railway S. runner-up Big Time (Ire) (Kheleyf) from the immediate family of the G1 St. James's Palace S. and G1 Dewhurst S.-winning sire Grand Lodge, also has a yearling filly by Power (GB). Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $11,945. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
