This is another so far unnamed NAR runner, this time bought through the Shadai Thoroughbred Club. This particular colt was sired by Gold Allure, with Mejiro Venus as the dam, which provides a promising mix of bloodlines, especially when thinking of a dirt racer.

Gold Allure has won the Japan Dirt Derby in the past (as well as a number of other G1 races), so his blood is valued in NAR circles. Sired by Sunday Silence, and with Nikiya as a mother (bringing together the Northern Dancer, via Nureyev, and Nijinsky lines), Gold Allure rivals Kurofune as the perfect stallion for a dirt competitor.
Mejiro Venus was sired by Tony Bin, the Irish registered horse that we've already mentioned in passing, but the fact he won the L'Arc de Triomphe and the Italian GP del Jockey Club is well worth pointing out. The blood flowing through Tony Bin reads like a who's who of the English racing scene, while the female side seems to have a habit of breeding winners. We shall soon see whether the winning combination has been struck with this horse...
