Prince Khaled Abdullah looks to have yet another fine prospect to look forward to judging by the tremendously impressive way that his Radiator broke her maiden tag at Lingfield recently in the manner of a filly with a very big future.

The daughter of Dubawi had hinted at a fair degree of ability when shaping with a plenty of promise on her racecourse bow at Glorious Goodwood five weeks earlier, finishing fifth in a hot race won by Amazing Maria, the Ed Dunlop-trained filly who subsequently went on to land the Group 3 Prestige Stakes.

She was duly sent off the 11/10 market leader on Betfair for the seven-furlong Lingfield maiden and was noted travelling easily throughout the first half of the contest under former champion jockey, Ryan Moore, having been sent immediately into the lead once the stalls opened.

By halfway, a glance behind showed all her rivals under pressure while Radiator was giving the impression she was still in second gear.

Once shaken up at the two furlong from home marker, she easily pulled further and further clear, eventually crossing the finishing line no less than 15 lengths clear of main market rival, Zawiyah (2/1 with Betfair), who had only narrowly failed to land a decent Windsor maiden on her previous outing.

From the family of the outstanding sire, Dansili, and with an entry in the Group 1 Shadwell Fillies’ Mile, it came as no surprise to see betting firms such as Betfair react quickly, introducing the juvenile into the ante-post list for next year’s Qipco 1000 Guineas at a top price of 25/1.

Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Radiator’s owner/breeder, refused to get carried away though with the performance – despite obviously being impressed – suggesting that connections will just take things one step at a time for the time being.
