DIONYSIAN powered five and a half lengths clear to break his maiden in the 1m EBF Restricted Novice Stakes at Kempton. The poor draw did nothing to hamper him and we were left in no doubt as he turned for home. What a win for his owners!

This EXCEED AND EXCEL colt out of a GALILEO mare, bred by Hascombe & Valiant Stud, was an exceptional purchase for 30,000 GNS from Book 2 at Tattersalls. He looks to improve further next year and is an exciting prospect for the team at Opulence.

DIONYSIAN easy to back dropped in trip, nevertheless showed improved form to get off the mark; in touch, took strong hold, led after 2f, shaken up over 1f out, forged clear; he's bred to be useful and looks the type to go on improving.

A one-sided novice event with the winner the only real improver on show.
