SARDEM (FR) (Siyouni {Fr}) debuted in the same contest for newcomers in which Erevann (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) from the same relationship achieved TDN Rising Star title 12 months ago and, since trainers are creatures of habit, perhaps a significant runner to start the card for Jean-Claude Rouget. Aga Khan’s February pony is the son of G3 Prix de Lieurey and G1 Prix winner Jean Romanet and G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp do Sarkiyla (Fr) (Oasis dream {GB}), making him half-brother to G3 Prix du Prince d’Orange scorer Saiydabad-trained G3 Prix du Prince d’Orange (Blame) who finished fourth in the G1 Club Prix du Jockey last year. It could be your barn Valimi (Fr) (Teophilo {Ire}) here as a pacemaker and if that’s the case then it’s clear that his entourage considers him above average.

Raised by her breeders in Monceaux, April-foaled bay debuted two months after the dam registered another milestone as her son Siyouni (Fr) topped the town’s Arqana August Yearling Sale with 2.1 million euros.
