A dual Group I winning sprinter by blueblood Danehill stallion Kodiac, Hello Youmzain has been a popular visitor to Cambridge Stud.

His sire Kodiac is a half-brother to champion sire Invincible Spirit and his female family is packed with Black Type and traces back to Mill Reef mare Sandy Island, whose daughter Subterfuge (GB) has spawned an impressive stakes dynasty in Australasia featuring countless Group winners such as Summer Passage and Shania Dane.

Circus Maximus is a triple Group I winning miler by legendary sire Galileo from Group II winning Danehill Dancer mare Duntle and will look to continue the success of past Windsor Park shuttlers from Coolmore such as High Chaparral (IRE) and Mastercraftsman (IRE).
