Verdict
Brehon Star and Invivo were engaged in the 2.35 at Down Royal yesterday. Sequoiaspirit's rider claimed 7lb when runner-up at Limerick and a 6lb rise makes this much tougher. GO GILL GO slipped and finished tailed off at Wexford in March but that was on heavy ground and he was running well on quicker going last summer, scoring at Sligo in July. Getaway Milani showed much improved form when fourth at Tramore and won't need much more while Let Her Flow was in good form at this time a year ago.
