FormscanBy John O'Riordan - An impressive winner of her maiden at Punchestown last month, LA FOGATA can follow up. Although the third filly franked the form since, it was more the manner of victory and, turn of foot shown by the Ger Lyons trained juvenile that caught the eye. Previously fourth in a Group 3 over this course and distance, the daughter of Mehmas ran green before the penny dropped late on. Even at that, she still managed to finish in front of one of her main rivals here, Sugar Island. The latter has to be respected, given that she subsequently went on to finish third in a Group 2 at Doncaster. Listed placed Caught U Sleeping also boasts strong claims for Noel Meade.
