Selected odds by:
Newcomer by Helmet is out of a 7f-1m winner from a family who generally excelled at 1m-1m2f. Trainer's record with two-year-olds is very ordinary so best watched.
Camacho newcomer is half-sister to two winners both at two. Trainer had 35 combined runners in last five seasons with no winners so not the sort to be backing first time up.
Ran with some promise on debut before fading and finishing last of seven beaten some 20L on debut at Tipperary. Major strides needed here to play a leading role.
€8,500 foal by Champs Elysees is half sister to a 7f-1m4f winner out of a dam who won at two. Trainer just one from 35 with two-year-olds last five seasons so this likely to be a filly for the future.
Plenty of promise on debut when fourth of 16 despite a not-clear run. Built on that next time when headed on the line by a highly-regarded Jessica Harrington juvenile over 6f here. Extra 1f shouldn't be an issue so looks the one to beat.
Made favourite on debut in an ordinary looking 1m maiden at Bellewstown but had to settle for third. Trainer's two-year-olds have been needing the run however so could progress enough to be involved.
Champs Elysees newcomer is half-sister to 7f-1m2f winner including at two out of a dam who won lone start over 1m5f. Trainer has a 21% strike rate with turf two-year-olds so merits respect under the champion jockey.
Some promise in her 6L sixth of 13 on debut at Galway last week over 7f. Quicker ground may help judged on her pedigree and not entirely dismissed although step up is required.
6L sixth of ten on debut at Naas over 6f a fortnight ago was a reasonable start but from a yard with no winners in last five years so hard to be optimistic.
100/1 and last of 16 on debut at Naas. Trainer more known for jumpers and perhaps this is where her future will one day lie.
Beaten 20L into fifth of six on debut although the Classic quoted winner won by 10L. Shouldn't meet one of that talent here but trainer winner-less last five years so unlikely to be heavily involved.
Fair enough effort on debut where she finished seventh of 15 but has some 7L to make up with Foxtrot Liv based on that. Could get closer but unlikely to turn the tables.
12½L fifth of 11 on debut in an ordinary looking 1m maiden at Bellewstown. This probably a tougher race so plenty of improvement needed.
Little progress between her debut 11th of 14 and latest 10th of 11 both at this racecourse. Seen little hint of ability so far so can't make a case for her.
Newcomer by Vocalised out of a placed dam who is sister to a 1m Group One winner. Trainer just three from 40 with two-year-olds this term so barring market support she is best watched.
Promise in all three starts to date and close seconds over 1m at Bellewstown and latest over 7f at Leopardstown where she bid to make all give her very strong claims in a race lacking in strong contenders.
12th of 14 on debut over 6f and last of eight next time out back to 5f. Little to hint at much potential so best watched until she goes handicapping.
€2,500 filly by Famous Name was the outsider of five on debut at Down Royal duly struggled finishing last. Hopefully fare a little better here but can't see her making the frame.
Born To Sea filly, half-sister to a hurdles winner and dam a half-sister to multiple Group 1 winner. Entitled to need this on debut and others hold stronger claims.
Beat just one home on debut here over 6f in a race where Foxtrot Liv was beaten a short head. Impossible to expect a turnaround and has a wretched draw.
Eighth of 11 at Bellewstown on debut beaten 14½L over 1m. Unlikely to find the necessary progress from that effort to be involved here.

Forecasts
Foxtrot Liv (6/4), Syrena (9/2), Heliac (9/2), Frosty Beach (6/1), Suaimhneach (12/1), Mi Esperanza (14/1), Porterinthejungle (20/1), Miacomet (25/1), Elusive Fantasy (25/1), Royal Canford (33/1), Dinard Rose (33/1), Black Magic Woman (50/1), Bendzonic (50/1), That's Not Me (50/1), Shandredee (50/1), Twoforseven (66/1), The Next Abbey (66/1), The Lady's Bid (66/1), Dandy Pearl (66/1), Mustmeetmin (66/1), Ulookinatmeboy (100/1), Miss Wow (100/1)
In a race considerably higher in quantity than it is in quality two runners stand out. Of the two FOXTROT LIV is narrowly preferred to Syrena with the suspicion that she bumped into an above average type latest yet only went down by a short-head. Syrena has two seconds to her name and is proven over beyond this 1m so could try to look for stamina weakness in her rival who hasn't been beyond 6f so far. Of the rest newcomer Heliac makes the most appeal for the always respected Ger Lyons-Colin Keane combination.
