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.
