Invincible Spirit, sire of the well-bred Time Tunnel | Irish National Stud

4.50 Gowran Park, Mdn, €12,000, 3yo, 7fT
TIME TUNNEL (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) missed her intended debut over an extended mile at Naas last month when upset in the stalls and Dermot Weld will hope for better fortune here. Khalid Abdullah's March-foaled bay is a daughter of the G1 Falmouth S. heroine Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar), herself a half-sister to the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud heroine Passage of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}) whose son Tempus (GB) (Kingman {GB}) scored on Tuesday night.

6.55 Gowran Park, Mdn, €15,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 8fT
ANYA YLINA (IRE) (Oasis Dream {GB}) is another intriguing debutante on this card for Dermot Weld's Rosewell House, being out of a half-sister to the G2 Lennox S.-winning sire Es Que Love (Ire) (Clodovil {Ire}) and G1 Hong Kong Vase hero Dominant (Ire) (Cacique {Ire}). Moyglare Stud Farm's homebred meets a real blueblood in Magic Fountain (War Front">War Front), Ballydoyle's daughter of the G1 Irish Oaks heroine Bracelet (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) who was only 10th as favourite for a Leopardstown maiden last month.
