The Khalid Abdullah-owned filly by Bated Breath, ANCESTRAL can build on her promising third of 17 in a competitive Curragh maiden in July finishing 3¾L adrift of Park Bloom. The winner has since been beaten a little over 4L in a Listed event at Gowran Park while the second, Vivianite won a Killarney maiden last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Baby Pink and the solid and progressive looking sort Bongiorno look more than capable of hitting the frame.
