Footstepsinthesand filly is a full sister to 5f-1m winner Confrontational. Seventh of 10 beaten 6¾L on debut at the Galway festival in July. Potential improver if settling better.
Acclamation filly, closely related to 1m winner Monaadhil and half-sister to 1m AW 2yo winner Cecchini. Encouraging debut finishing runner-up, 2¾L adrift of the winner Petite Mustique at the Galway festival in July. Race working out well.
Bargain basement filly bought for just 2,000 euros as a yearling. Slowly in to stride in below-par debut effort at Cork over 6f last month. Needs a sizable improvement to play a role here.
Dark Angel filly. Made €125,000 as a two-year-old. Running well in defeat in a couple of starts since debut in June. Has more to offer and no surprise to witness a bold show.
Daughter of Lawman out of an Elusive City mare. Inexpensive purchase. Dam winner running between 6f and, as a two-year-old, 7f. Best watched on debut for Co Waterford yard not renowned for Flat progeny.
The Factor filly out of a Giant's Causeway mare. Resold as a €90,000 yearling. Made an eye-catching debut when failing to get the run of the race at Naas last month over 6f. More needed in this company.
Daughter of Invincible Spirit out of a Dalakhani mare. Cost €120,000 as a yearling. Always in rear on dismal debut effort at Cork over a similar trip last month. Tough task and others preferred.
By Australia. Sole filly in this field. Half-sister to a couple of winners. Penny beginning to drop as the filly gains more experience. Form of first tow races at Leopardstown appear to be working out well and one to have on the shortlist.
Gutaifan filly. €16,000 as a yearling. Dam six-race maiden on the Flat. Encouraging debut at the Curragh last month finishing fifth of 29 beaten 7¼L. Yulong Voice was well behind that day, winner at Bellewstown on Wednesday.
Daughter of Australia out of a Lope De Vega. Dam, placed at Listed level, winner over 7f on the AW and 1m on turf. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut.
Filly by Kodiac out of a Azamour mare. Cost £55,000 as a yearling. Yard boast a 41% win and place strike rate with first-time two-year-old's in the last 12 months. Leading player for York Ebor winning connections.
Daughter of Xtension. Bought for just 1,000 euros as a yearling. More needed following pitiful debut effort in a Cork 6f maiden last month. Hard to see where improvement is coming from to play a role.
No Nay Never filly. Fifth of eight beaten 5L on promising debut at the Curragh over a similar trip when last seen in July. Could muster a solid effort in first-time cheekpieces.
Daughter of Galileo out of an Invincible Spirit mare. Half-sister to Turnberry Isle, winner 1m - 1m1½f. Dam Listed, Group 2, Lowther Stakes at York and Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket winner at two. Fascinating recruit.
Iffraaj filly out of a Bahri mare. Half-sister to Group 2 winner, Shamreen and Shahroze successful at Group 3 level in Canada. Respected yard still looking for first two-year-old winner from 28 starters this term.
By Clodovil and a half-sister to 6f-1m winner Creggs Pipes. Hints of improvement from first start to second finishing fourth of 13 at Leopardstown over a similar trip last month. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Daughter of Intense Focus out of a Teofilo mare. Half-sister to Fior Cliste winner over 7f. Dam winner between 7f and 1m2½f. Watching brief on debut as yards youngsters often come on for first run.
140,000gns foal. Siyouni filly. Promising efforts on first couple of career starts at Naas and at the Curragh last month finishing third of eight beaten 3L. Needs to improve again but not ruled out.
Starspangledbanner filly bought for €18,000 at the breeze-up sales in May. Last of 13 beaten over 70L on debut at Leopardstown in July. Very little to be positive about.

It's difficult to get away from the chances of the Jessica Harrington youngster, CHASING THE DREAM. The Peter Savill-owned daughter of Acclamation can progress from her promising debut at the Galway festival in July, finishing second of 10 beaten 2¾L and can get the better of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Lampetia, improving sort over C&D last month. Newcomers, Nurse Barbara for the York Ebor winning connections and Second Glance for the Coolmore operation look the biggest dangers.
