None of these have been placed but several have shown up nicely on their debuts including Alghazaal, mid-division in a strong Leopardstown maiden won by Tiger Moth. But HOSIER, who finished just in front, didn't enjoy the run of the race or would have finished much closer so looks the one to be on. Pontchateau stayed on nicely at Roscommon under the in-form Billy Lee while Yulong Magicreef really caught the eye behind Galileo Chrome at the Curragh. The newcomers Nordic Aurora, a €260,000 half-brother to a Group 1 winner, and Up With The Play, who is from a top-class family on the dam's side, are worth keeping an eye on.
