Beyond Dreams (IRE)

A half-sister to an Australian Group 1 winner, she shaped well on debut at Punchestown when finishing well against more experienced rivals.

Made U Blush (GB)

Out of a Listed winning dam, she was well supported to make a successful debut at Cork but met some early trouble before running well to finish fourth. Can win a similar maiden soon.

Chocalho (GB)

Out of an Argentinian Group 1 winning mare, she was drawn wide for her Gowran debut run but showed promise and should improve enough to win an upcoming maiden.

Fiona MacCoul (IRE)

On debut she was slowly away and met significant traffic in-running before running on well close home. She should win an auction maiden soon.

Proxima Centauri (IRE)

A sizeable filly, she is out of champion Alpha Centauri and shaped as though she would improve considerably for her debut run at Leopardstown, when she met some traffic.

Feud (GB)

A half-brother to 1,000 Guineas winner Fallen Angel, he won easily on his hurdling debut at Listowel and should be followed over the coming months.
