Guru (GB)

Newbury's bet365 EBF Novice S. at Saturday looked the type of race to throw up something special beforehand and the feast of fancy pedigrees duly delivered as Lady Bamford's newcomer Guru (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}) denied Juddmonte's Maximal (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in a photo.

Darain (GB)

It may have taken time to see him in action, but Qatar Racing and Watership Down Stud's 3.5million gns 2018 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 1 Sale topper Darain (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) made the wait worthwhile with a command performance to earn TDN Rising Star status on his debut on Wednesday's evening card at Newbury....

Shirl's Speight

Shirl's Speight (Speightstown)'s dam Perfect Shirl (Perfect Soul {Ire}) may have rallied from far back when she upended the 2011 GI Breeders' Cup F/M Turf at 27-1, but Shirl's Speight showed off impressive speed from the first jump Saturday at Woodbine to garner the 'TDN Rising Star' distinction. Sporting a mostly unassuming worktab over the...

Pretty Gorgeous (Fr)

It is not often that Bellewstown witnesses a performance with Classic potential, but on Thursday the tricky Co.

Seventh Kingdom (GB)

It took a while for the penny to drop, but when it did Prince Faisal's homebred Seventh Kingdom (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16 " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel</a> {GB}) was a class above going a shade over seven furlongs in Saturday's Betway Novice S. at Doncaster, earning a TDN Rising Star tag with a daylight triumph.

Admiral Nelson (GB)

Coolmore's newcomer Admiral Nelson (GB) (<a href="https://bit.ly/36fNhlT " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Kingman</a> {GB}) topped the lists at last year's Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, when knocked down to M V Magnier for ?440,000 and the strapping bay repaid some of that outlay and earned 'TDN Rising Stardom' when scorching to an impressive one-length success in Friday's Tally-Ho Stud Irish EBF (C&G)...
