+ETTISAAL (GB) (f, 2, Dubawi {Ire}–Al Ishq {Fr}, by Nureyev) recovered from a sluggish departure and cut through the pack to stalk the lead in second after the initial exchanges of this first go. Nudged along passing the two pole, the 23-10 chalk quickened to the fore approaching the final furlong and coasted home under minimal coaxing thereafter to easily best Snejinska (Fr) (Sageburg {Ire}) by 1 3/4 lengths. Juddmonte's Pachinko (Tapit), a half-sister to G1 Prix Jean Romanet heroine Announce (GB) (Selkirk), ran on well in the closing stages to finish 1 1/2 lengths adrift in third. Full-sister to a colt foal, the homebred chestnut is also kin to MG1SW sire Tamayuz (GB) (Nayef), G3 Prix Miesque runner-up Nuqoosh (GB) (Machiavellian) and Listed Prix Yacowlef third Thamarat (GB) (Anabaa), who in turn produced black-type performers Riqa (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Saraaba (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}). Her second dam is G3 Prix de Flore victress Allez Les Trois (Riverman), a half-sister to blue hen Urban Sea (Miswaki), whose three stakes scorers include G1 Prix du Jockey Club-winning sire Anabaa Blue (GB) (Anabaa). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €13,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
