Maria Christina (IRE)

Really caught the eye on debut at Leopardstown in a 20-runner fillies maiden when finishing strongly behind much better fancied stable-companion Lightning Amber. Stays at least a mile and looks sure to win races.

Singer (GB)

By Oasis Dream and out of a 1m2f Listed winner, this Juddmonte home-bred was easy to back on debut at the Curragh but finished well after being outpaced over a furlong out. Stays at least a mile and likely to benefit from this outing.

Peruvian Lily (FR)

Never really involved from an unfavourable low draw on debut in a 20-runner Curragh maiden but came home well over six furlongs. Bred to get further and should progress from this initial run.

Bruce Wayne (IRE)

Never involved on debut at the Curragh after blowing the start but indicated plenty of ability when keeping on well behind the impressive Ten Sovereigns. Sure to benefit from this experience.

Clarendon Street (IRE)

Cost €35,000 at Goffs Landrover Sale & finished strongly after being given plenty to do on debut in a Punchestown bumper. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree & should progress with racing.
