Sligo Race 7 - Lake Isle Of Innisfree Flat Race
IN A SONNET (8) represents leading yard that dominate in this sphere. Let down favourite backers when 43L fourth at Navan. Clearly felt to be a lot better than that and a big improvement is expected now. Will prove hard to beat if progressing as anticipated. SEVEN TOWERS (10) shaped well when 3L third at Kilbeggan. That form reads well and can progress again here. Easy to fancy. BRAVEWAVE (2) showed a willing attitude running 7L third at Bellewstown. Can only improve for that and is worth keeping safe. GO TO THE MOON (6) impressed winning a point and looks a likely threat to all now under rules.

Five-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Maxios out of Seven Even. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Previously second-up finished sixth of 9 starters at Cragmore P2p on January 25 over 4828m, on slow going 26 len behind Start In The West with 60kg. Needs to find a bit more to feature.
