This looks a good starting point for CHANTEZ, who looked a high-class filly in the making at Leopardstown when beating Garden Of Eden last autumn. Bint Queen Kindly beat Copacabana Sands over 7f here in March, showing enough promise to suggest she can hold her own against more experienced rivals. California Dreamer and Barnavara have a bit to prove on recent form, but should enter calculations on juvenile form. [Alan Sweetman]

Beat the talented Rough Diamond in a maiden at Leopardstown last July; ran poorly in a Listed race at the same venue won by today's rival Chantez; ended the season on a much more positive note with a C&D second behind the Ballydoyle-trained Whirl; tongue-tie for the first time
Half-sister to Group 2 winner Layfayette; dam 1m winner; takes a big jump in class a month after a debut maiden win from an 85-rated rival at Bellewstown.
6f course maiden winner on debut; solid placed form including third in two Pattern races over 7f at this venue; Leopardstown comeback run over the same trip last month was disappointing; needs to reverse form with Cercene (third) and fifth-placed Copacabana Sands.
Night Of Thunder filly; closely related to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Queen Me; dam won the Lowther for Richard Fahey; created a good first impression when beating Copacabana Sands over 7f here in March; promising.
Placed in three Pattern races at two, best effort when second over 6f on good ground at this venue; took advantage of a good opportunity in 1m AW maiden at Dundalk on seasonal debut; needs to find her form again having dropped away in the final furlong in the Fred Darling.
Made a promising debut at Gowran last July; Naas maiden winner on second outing; failed to cope with soft ground in a C&D Group 3 in which And So To Bed was second; much more like it on better ground at Leopardstown on reappearance with Copacabana Sands (unlucky in running) and Barnavara (below her best) behind.
All three juvenile runs over 7f at Leopardstown; won easily on second start; backed that up with a convincing win from Garden Of Eden and other members of this field in a Listed race on Irish Champion Stakes day; smart prospect.
Showed ability for Diego Dias last season; chased home newcomer Bint Queen Kindly on stable/seasonal debut; built on that with encouraging fifth in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown; met trouble in running, and her performance can be upgraded, fair chance of turning the tables on third-placed Cercene.
Very green when making a winning debut over 6f at Fairyhouse last June; disappointed in the Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at this venue (California Dreamer, second); fourth behind Chantez in 7f Listed race at Leopardstown, fading late; ended season with fair third in a 6f Listed race.
Naas maiden winner last summer (7f); best effort when second (in front of two shorter-priced stablemates) in 7f Leopardstown Listed race won by Chantez; reportedly finished lame when well below best final start in Goffs Million; never in the hunt when outsider of stable trio over C&D last month; Moore takes over, respected on her run against Chantez.
Won valuable Deauville newcomers' contest last August over this trip; failed to land a blow in strong Leopardstown Listed event in which Chantez beat Garden Of Eden; finished behind Barnavara and California Dreamer in a 7f Group 3 event here last September; tongue-tie on now.
Won Gowran maiden last summer on quick ground, ran well to take fifth in Leopardstown Listed race in which Chantez beat Garden Of Eden, finishing strongly; met trouble in running when beaten favourite in valuable Curragh sales race fortnight later.
