The first son of Dark Angel is lot 999A out of the winning Dubawi mare Nawassi , a daughter of the Gr2 Queen Mary Stakes winner Maqaasid, who placed in both the 1000 Guineas and the Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes. Maqaasid is a sister to Gr1 producers Isthishaary, the dam of Gr1 winner Il Foranio , and Jumooh, the dam of Gr1 Sydney Cup winner Shraaoh, Gr2 winner Raheen House and the Listed winners Born With Pride and Sea Of Faith. Maqaasid is out of a half-sister to 1000 Guineas winner Ghanaati, the Oaks placed Rumoush and the Gr1 runner-up Mawatheeq.
The second of the two Dark Angel wildcards is lot 999B and the March foaled colt boasts an equally blue-blooded pedigree. His dam Shurooq is by Dubawi out of exceptional racemare Natagora, the winner of the 1000 Guineas, the Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes and five times Gr1 placed.
Natagora, who was Champion two year old filly in England in 2007, has herself produced two stakes performers, the Listed winner Mankib and Shurooq’s Listed placed full-sister Raaqy, and she is the granddam of Gr3 Sweet Solera Stakes winner Tajaanus and the Gr3 runner-up Motafaawit.
