Beautifully bred SALLAAL gets his career off to the perfect start, cruising to victory on debut in the hands of Jack Mitchell.

Indeed, the Sheikh Ahmed-owned two-year-old has a pedigree to be excited about, being a son of Frankel and out of Roger's first G1 winner Nahrain - making him a half-brother to this year's Varian Stable-trained G1 1000 Guineas heroine ELMALKA. But he delivered on that promise in pleasing fashion at Great Yarmouth today, staying on strongly to claim the 7f Novice contest by half a length.

Congratulations to HH Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum.
