'He has such an incredible mind he can come back' - Charyn the latest Dark Angel to take wing for Grangemore
Aisling Crowe speaks to Guy O'Callaghan about a new miling star

When Charyn takes his place in the Deauville stalls on Sunday afternoon for the Group 1 Prix Jacques le Marois, the son of Dark Angel will have the opportunity to become part of racing's firmament.
The stars who have created a legacy in the breeding world having won this race are legion; Lyphard, Irish River, Kenmare, Miesque and Dubawi are just some of those who have shone brightest in Normandy and left an indelible mark on the breed.
A place at his owner Nurlan Bizakov's Sumbe alongside Angel Bleu, another Group 1 winner by Dark Angel, surely awaits Charyn having won the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. That breakthrough Royal triumph in June certainly earned the four-year-old a prominent position in the history of his breeder's Grangemore Stud.
