Chiara Luna came here for her debut in August and started odds-on. She defied her inexperience with a very convincing victory and will be looking to enhance her Irish 1,000 Guineas prospects. After beating Happily and Mary Tudor in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh, MAGICAL (NAP) ran in all the top fillies' races and was never beaten far. She'll be better for her run on heavy going at Longchamp and is in all the major fillies' races. Mary Tudor enhanced the form with a convincing victory in a Navan Listed contest and can reach the frame. The selection's stable companion Ballet Shoes didn't make the expected progress after completing a double in a Tipperary Listed contest while Who's Steph's Group 3 victory here last month came on very testing ground.
