First runner for Charm Spirit to run on the Southwell all-weather

Charm Spirit, a three-time Group 1-winning miler, becomes the latest freshman sire to field a runner this year, when his son Inosanto lines up in the 5f novice stakes on the Southwell all-weather on Sunday.

Bungle Inthejungle, the only first-season sire yet to get off the mark, has his daughter North Korea, a €5,500 Goffs Orby yearling purchase, to bat for him.
