Graduates of the last three Goresbridge Breeze Up Sales had a field day at Naas and Leopardstown during the week. The opening two-year-old maiden at Naas saw Bear Cheek run out an impressive winner on her debut for Ger Lyons and in the colours of Qatar Racing Limited. The daughter of Kodiac was bred at Tally-Ho Stud and bought two months ago at the sales by David Redvers for €125,000 from her breeders.

The feature race at Naas was the Yeomanstown Stud Dark Angel EBF Stakes and this listed event was won by the Michael O’Callaghan-trained Letters Of Note carrying the silks of Pearl Bloodstock. A three-year-old daughter of Azamour, she was bought by her trainer for just €13,500 at the 2014 Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale.
