Review LEOPARDSTOWN 2nd Jul
Seamus Heffernan continued in the winning vein when Cheyenne Star landed her second race at Group Three level in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes.
Frances Crowley's mare beat Heaven Sent in the Ridgewood Pearl last year and warmed up for this with a third in the same race.
Settled in mid-division by the Derby-winning jockey, the 9-2 chance shot to the front at the furlong-marker and was never going to be caught by a game Age Of Reason, who crossed the line a length and a quarter in arrears.
The Listed Golden Fleece Stakes went the way of Ryehill Dreamer who came with a wet sail down the outside in the seven-furlong contest.
Aidan O'Brien's Sawtooth Mountain was a well-backed favourite but having led the field, he folded tamely when Glisten threw down the gauntlet two furlongs out.
She battled hard but ultimately had no answer to the finishing charges of Vilasol and Ryehill Dreamer, with Tommy Stack's colt proving a length and a quarter too good.
Connections indicated that the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf is a possible long-range option for the 100-30 winner.
Jim Bolger was back in the winner's enclosure after Emy Bright shed her maiden tag in the Woodleigh Apprentice Handicap.
Danny Mullins produced the 9-1 chance to challenge approaching the home turn and the move proved decisive because she never looked like being caught from that point, going on to beat Show Blessed by five lengths.< Dianella (10-1) was another to break her duck with a commanding performance in the Monaloe Handicap.
David Myerscough's filly was having her 16th start, but was always travelling sweetly just off the pace and was asked to go about her business at the two-furlong pole.
She established a clear advantage and held too many guns for the fast-finishing Marias Dream scoring by a length and a half.
