Shamardal | Darley

4.15 Newmarket, Mdn, £8,000, 2yo, c/g, 7fT

ALFARRIS (FR) (Shamardal) cost connections €460,000 at Arqana August and debuts in a maiden that often throws up future black-type winners. Out of a half to the MGSW Free Port Lux (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), whose own dam is the 2007 GI Beverly D S. heroine Royal Highness (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum's bay represents the William Haggas stable and meets another notable in the similarly unraced Red Label (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). Jon Kelly's 375,000gns TATOCT purchase is out of a group-placed half-sister to the brilliant Goldikova (Ire) (Anabaa) and is saddled by Luca Cumani.
