In depth
Verdict
Highway To Heaven was engaged in the 7.30 here last night. Lady Godiva was unlucky in-running at Sligo though she's never raced on ground this quick while Passing Trade looked better suited by 1m2f at Ballinrobe. Beau Rocko was staying on very strongly on his handicap debut over 6f at Fairyhouse and though taking a leap in trip is expected to stay but the vote goes to WAVEPOINT (NAP) . Gavin Cromwell's charge was also making his handicap bow when a very good fourth over this trip at Navan last month and further progress can see him gain his opening victory. Mojambo was just in front in that latter event but had much more experience than the selection.
