A 110,000 gns Tattersalls yearling, Jira is a three-parts sister to King Edward VII Stakes winner Plea Bargain and a half-sister to Dubai Time and Emirates Sports out of a winning half-sister to Zinaad and Time Allowed, herself out of the great Time Charter.

This is the second Listed winner of the year for Medicean, who has 23 winners from 109 runners in the UAE and Europe this year. Jira is his sole juvenile winner from 10 runenrs this term, and indeed only 10% of the Cheveley Park sire's wins come from his two-year-olds.
