Comment: Vocalised filly is third foal of an unraced half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Legitimus, out of unraced sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Galatee (dam of Group 2 winners Dartmouth and Manatee); don't rule out but sire's progeny tend to like an ease in the ground.

Verdict: This looks a good starting point for CHANTEZ, who looked a high-class filly in the making when beating Garden Of Eden last autumn

Chantez

Jockey: C T Keane Trainer: G M Lyons Age/Wt: 3/9-2 F: 211- OR: 103

11/4

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: Last year's Derby third and Irish Derby winner, beat stablemate Illinois in the Great Voltigeur; top-class form at this trip when close up fourth in Irish Champion Stakes before fine third in the Arc; race possibly came too soon when flopped 13 days later back at 1m2f in Champion Stakes; reported off feed when missing intended return in race won by Galen; should be fit enough.

Saturn Seven

Jockey: B M Coen Trainer: Edward Lynam Age/Wt: 5/9-10 F: 00270- OR: 66

14/1

Comment: Last win came here over 5f in testing conditions in October 2023; standout run last year came when beaten a head over C&D on good ground off 65; has tended to need a run in the past so possibly best watched on return.

Lismacbryan Hill

Jockey: P McGettigan Trainer: Patrick Magee Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 00-524 OR: 44

14/1

Comment: Improved off lowly mark this term, good second at Bellewstown and three days later only tiring late when fourth at Navan over stiff 6f; slightly easier 6f here should suit but 3lb out of handicap.

Jockey: D McMonagle Trainer: Augustine Leahy Age/Wt: 6/10-1 F: 14853- OR: 71

Comment: Wins last summer at Tipperary and Limerick; okay runs in later starts but may just need this comeback run (fifth in this last year on return).

20/1

Comment: Sole win came here last summer (5f) and very encouraging comeback run over same trip here last month; ran well for a long way at Navan under today's rider but stamina concerns over this stiff 6f.

Velvet Skies

Jockey: T Casey Trainer: Michael Mulvany Age/Wt: 4/9-11 F: 61473 OR: 67

20/1

Comment: Turf win came at 7f but equally good at shorter trips and recent strong-finishing Navan third (stumbled start) augurs well; rider claims an extra 3lb here and can be fancied to reverse form with second-placed She's Smart.

Jockey: L F Roche Trainer: J G Coogan Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 60-604 OR: 53

20/1

Comment: Nice bit of improvement dropped in trip last month in a first-time visor, showing plenty of speed over 5f at Navan, only tiring late when passed by both She's Smart and Velvet Skies; needs to settle better to see this out.

Comment: Sole victory came over 6f at Thirsk (good) on debut for Saeed Bin Suroor; regressive since, although testing conditions were hardly ideal at Limerick last time; handicapper giving him a chance and conditions more in his favour here.
