Verdict
LITTLE SOIREE was sent off odds-on for her debut at Ballinrobe but, in a slowly-run race, didn't quite have the pace to get the job done and was beaten a nose. Patrick Mullins should ensure a stronger gallop here and compensation awaits. Reginalds Tower has improved with each run and was only beaten half-a-length at Navan when the staying-on A Law Of Her Own was just behind. Lake Winnipesaukee has some decent form and a strong gallop would play to his strengths.
