Red Acres Georgie (IRE)

A point-to-point winner, she showed nice form in finishing second in two October maiden hurdles when finishing clear of the third each time. She should win a maiden soon.

Wonderful Everyday (IRE)

Winner of the traditionally hot Goffs Defender bumper in 2025, she initially disappointed over hurdles but was unlucky in-running on handicap debut at Listowel in September. She is now almost certain to better that lowly 105 rating.

Endless Night (IRE)

From a good family and a sister to Group 1-winner Thesecretadversary, she showed nice ability when finishing third at Naas on September 17 and should build on that promise.

Lord Aus (IRE)

Bamako Beach (IRE)

Showed promise in one run as a two-year-old and shaped as though he would improve considerably from his good seasonal reappearance run at Gowran in May.
