Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Lily's Candle makes quick return to the sales ring

Lily's Candle - who handsomely rewarded her owner Martin Schwartz after he purchased her for €390,000 on the eve of her last-to-first win in this year's Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac - is one of five wildcards set to be offered on the first day of the Arqana Breeding Stock Sale on Saturday, December 8.

The daughter of Style Vendome, who is the standout performer for her second-season sire, will be offered by Haras des Capucines as lot 160.

Her dam's half-sister Liliside finished first-past-the-post in Special Duty's Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, while Liliside's daughter Lys Gracieux gave the page an update when winning the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Kyoto earlier in the month.

Lily's Candle will have her third date with an Arqana auctioneer, having sold for €15,000 to Bertrand Bourez at last year's October Sale.

Joining Lily's Candle will be Diana Storm (150), a sister to German champion Dschingis Secret - a recent recruit to Haras de Saint Arnoult for 2019 - and Destino, runner-up to Weltstar in this year's Deutsches Derby.

Diana Storm was a close second in a 1m4f Group 2 at Baden-Baden at three and placed twice in Listed company this season. She will be offered by Ecurie des Monceaux from the yard of Waldemar Hickst.

John Hammond consigns the two-year-old Myboycharlie filly Noblesse Oblige (180) following her success in the Group 3 Premio Dormello at San Siro for fellow trainer Marco Gasparini.

Noblesse Oblige shares her granddam with the Jersey Stakes scorer and Poule d'Essai des Poulains second Le Brivido.

HSV Agency offer Moonlight In Paris (120), a three-time winner for Jean-Claude Rouget who was second in the Group 3 Prix de Lieurey.

The six-year-old mare is in foal to leading French sire Siyouni - one of six such mares in the catalogue - and has a yearling colt by the sire and a Camelot filly foal.

Completing the quintet of wildcards is the previously announced Devant (170) offered by Monceaux on behalf of Henri-Alex Pantall.

The two-year-old Showcasing filly appeared to appreciate the testing conditions when winning the Group 3 Prix Miesque at Maisons-Laffitte on her most recent of four outings.
