LIVENKA (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) is an important Juddmonte newcomer for the Ger Lyons stable as a half-sister to their Phoenix Stakes heroine Babouche (Kodiac) and her triple Group-winning full-sibling Zarinsk. Having won two of the last six renewals of this maiden, the yard obviously prioritises this, as does Aidan O'Brien, whose four recent winners include the subsequent Cheveley Park Stakes heroine Fairyland. He is represented this time by Victorious (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), a half-sister to last year's G3 Staffordstown Stud Stakes winner Sugar Island (Dubawi) out of a full-sister to Minding, Tuesday and Empress Josephine.
