Verdict
INNISFREE made an eye-catching debut behind more-experienced stablemate Year of The Tiger at Naas earlier this month. By Galileo out of a Listed winner, he has some fancy entries and will need to make short work of these to justify the optimism. Shekhem also showed plenty of promise on his introduction at the Curragh and is a likely improver. Cap D'antibes was fourth at Fairyhouse but it will be a surprise if he’s good enough to challenge the likely market leaders.
