Charming KidCharming Kid (pictured) comes into the Goodwood Sale following three race starts to date. Trained by Richard Fahey, the 2YO son of Charm Spirit won his debut at York in May with the Racing Post commenting he "travelled strongly in behind and quickened up well to win comfortably, his rider never having to go for the whip. The runner-up had previous experience and set a decent standard, so this was a good effort on his debut, and he looks a smart prospect."

That performance also saw him earn a provisional Hong Kong rating of 82 (as of 23/7/18).A well-bred colt, Charming Kid is a half-brother to the dual Gr.2winner JUNIPER PASSand hails from the family of the Gr.1winner and Champion Sire STORM CAT, Gr.1winner CROWDED HOUSE,Gr.2winners CHAPEL OF DREAMS, TERLINGUA,TALE OF A CHAMPIONetc.
