Won 12-runner maiden at Down Royal (7.1f, good to soft, 11/8) 22 days ago, soon clear. This trip will suit and she's sure to win more races.

5/1
Curragh debut winner and a very good third in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster. 16¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Precise in Fillies' Mile (18/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not giving her running. Down in grade but others may improve past her this time.

4¼ lengths fourth of 13 to Cameo in maiden (9/1) at this course (7f, soft) on debut 17 days ago, nearest finish. Will improve.

Forecasts

Cameo (2/1), Stars Will Shine (4/1), Sugar Island (5/1), Thundering On (6/1), Ice Dancer (15/2), Ifweonlyhavelove (11/1), La Fogata (11/1), Caught U Sleeping (12/1)

Verdict

A stack of promising fillies, with STARS WILL SHINE taken to improve again and land this Group 3 on the back of her impressive Down Royal victory. The well-regarded Ice Dancer may be the pick of the Aidan O'Brien trio, with standard setter Sugar Island having a bit to prove after a tame display at Newmarket. La Fogata flew home at Punchestown and has to be respected.
