Cascadian was scrubbed along through the early strides before finding his way into mid division in this debut. Making relentless headway in the centre of the track once into the straight, the 17-10 favourite quickened smartly to challenge with 150 metres remaining and surged clear under minimal coaxing thereafter to score by an impressive 4 1/2 lengths from Baillolet (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). He is the first foal produced by G3 UAE Oaks heroine Falls of Lora (Ire) (Street Cry {Ire}), who is kin to three black-type performers headed by stakes-winning G1 St James’s Palace S. runner-up Latharnach (Iffraaj {GB}). The homebred chestnut’s second dam is stakes-winning G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches runner-up Firth of Lorne (Ire) (Danehill), herself a daughter of G3 Cherry Hinton S. and G1 1000 Guineas runner-up Kerrera (Ire) (Diesis {GB}), who in turn is a half-sister to MGSW sire Rock City (Ire) (Ballad Rock {Ire}). Cascadian has a yearling full-brother and a colt foal by Dubawi (Ire) to follow. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €13,500.
