DOS MUKASAN (FR) (c, 2, Golden Horde {Ire}--Dalkeya {Fr}, by Exceed And Excel {Aus}) was trapped on the outside in midfield through halfway in this debut. Fanning wide to the stands= side rail off the home turn, the 21-10 chalk was scrubbed along to join the front rank approaching the furlong pole and was driven out to prevail by a neck from Prince Aubois (Fr) (Motivator {GB}), becoming the third winner for his freshman sire (by Lethal Force {Ire}). Dos Mukasan is the latest of two foals and first scorer out of a half-sister to G1 Dubai Sheema Classic heroine Dolniya (Fr) (Azamour {Ire}) and Listed Prix Tantieme runner-up Dolianova (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}). Dolniya's trio of black-type performers includes G3 Prix Quincey victor Dilawar (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). The March-foaled grey's second dam Daltama (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}) is a half-sister to four stakes winners headed by multiple Group 1-winning sires Daylami (Ire) (Doyoun {Ire}) and Dalakhani (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}).
