WEST OF EDEN (IRE) (No Nay Never) is the chosen representative from Ballydoyle in a maiden that has become increasingly important to the stable in recent times with the last four winners being the future stars Charles Darwin, Camille Pissarro, River Tiber and Aesop's Fables. A €500,000 Arqana Deauville August graduate who hails from the Juddmonte family of Nayef's high-class Snow Sky and Ice Breeze, he encounters Amo Racing and the O'Callaghans' similarly unraced colt Tribeca (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), a Robson De Aguiar-trained 575,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 purchase related to the Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Homeless Songs (Frankel), while Jessica Harrington also introduces Alpha Racing's Margot Mae (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), a half-sister to the Group 1 performer New Endeavour (New Bay).
