Verdict
Isle Of Innisfree is brought out quickly under a penalty after beating his much better fancied stable companion All The King's Men at Naas on Tuesday. He had disappointed earlier, especially when beaten a long way behind BAILLY (NAP) at Bellewstown where he started a short-priced favourite. His stable also run North Wind, a comfortable Naas maiden winner who looks the type to make good progress now he's got his head in front. The selection followed that Bellewstown victory with another at Down Royal and didn't run badly in a much better race at the Curragh last time. Offline has disappointed on fast ground since a winning start at Dundalk while Lord Rapscallion's recent victory at the Curragh came over 6f. Tenax is progressing nicely and could have got in here lightly after a battling victory at Tipperary.
