Lakemilan ready to "mix it over the summer" after Limerick win

After his heavy tumble from favourite Falak in the first, it didn't get any easier for Keith Donoghue in race five at Limerick as Moonlight Escape (6/4 market-leader) got rid of him at the fifth last. This Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase eventually went to 2/1 second favourite Lakemilan

Up on the gallop Zipporah made a bold bid but she couldn't match the Terence O'Brien-trained and Donie McInerney-ridden Lakemilan over the closing couple of fences. Fourteen lengths split them at the line.

"She's done that well and I suppose when the favourite fell it was a help. She will mix it over the summer and it would be great to get a bit of black type with her," said O'Brien.

"She's a light-framed mare and will go on good ground too. I'd say it's not too bad there today and they are finishing fairly well. I think she can improve again and she is easy enough to train as you don't have to do a lot with her."
