FormscanBy Donal Murphy - INNISFREE BEAUTY won a stronger contest at Sligo on Sunday and she should be able to follow-up now, despite carrying top-weight. A half-sister to Galvin, the six-year-old landed some nice bets at the Yeats County venue, battling gamely on the run-in to hold off former stablemate Hophornbeam. The locally trained bay will again be ridden by Mark McDonagh who claims a valuable five pounds. Maggie Walsh, who is out of three-time Kilbeggan winner Akatara, is given second preference. She ran her best race to date when a close-up sixth at Tramore recently and it'll be interesting to see if she can build on that performance. Second and fourth on his last two starts, Muntahez is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist here are Be My Hero, Grinn and handicap debutant Miss Daingerfield.
