Won a 7f maiden here on third start, fair chance of reversing previous form with La Fogata

Second in the May Hill, ran in Fillies' Mile, could collect here if handling the ground
6 (1)	Stars Will Shine Chestnut J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	J:Chris Hayes T:Noel Meade	128	—	31	90	103	89	22d	—	—	+11	26.5	5/1 17%
Looks a useful prospect but stablemate Caught U Sleeping has stronger credentials
3 (2)	Ice Dancer Bay J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	J:Ronan Whelan T:A P O'Brien	128	—	01	-	87	67	31d	—	—	0	14	13/2 13%
Handled testing conditions at Gowran, gets the trip and can win more races as she matures
8 (5)	Thundering On Chestnut J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	J:Dylan Browne McMonagle T:Joseph Patrick O'Brien	128	—	4	-	80	45	17d	—	—	-7	2.9	7/1 13%
Beaten 4 1/4l in fourth behind Cameo on debut, looks capable of winning races.
5 (7)	La Fogata Chestnut J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	J:Colin Keane T:G M Lyons	128	—	441	92	94	70	35d	—	—	+14	22.9	10/1 9%
Stayed this trip well at Punchestown, not certain to uphold form with third-placed Cameo
2 (3)	Caught U Sleeping Chestnut J:Ben Coen T:Noel Meade	J:Ben Coen T:Noel Meade	128	—	13	-	102	87	38d	—	—	+5	11.9	12/1 8%
Debut winner at Naas, interesting based on Leopardstown third behind a Classic hope
4 (4)	Ifweonlyhavelove Bay J:Rory Cleary T:C W J Farrell	J:Rory Cleary T:C W J Farrell	128	—	52	-	96	93	21d	—	—	0	6.9	14/1 7%
Did well to split two Ballydoyle-trained fillies at Cork, faces tough task against winners
