Walk With Paul (FR)

By a leading stallion, she made a belated debut when finishing second to an experienced rival at Limerick. Open to improvement, she is quite capable.

Beyond Ambitious (IRE)

Grade 3-placed in a Punchestown festival bumper, she returned to form when second over hurdles at Thurles on October 20.

Six Magpies (IRE)

Slowly away on debut, he was checked early in the home straight before running on well to finish third. Being by Fast Company, he should handle an ease in the ground and should also improve.

Lumiere Rock (IRE)

Attracted support on debut but missing the break before running on well late-on. Should win her maiden in the coming weeks.
