Island Walk looks a greyhound to follow after easing to an impressive win in the Summer Cup Maidens at Romford on Friday night.

Dave Mullins' promising youngster was the quickest to leave the machine from trap one before meeting bumping on the run up to the corner.

However, the strong son of Droopys Vieri rode the storm before proceeding to make every yard of the running to beat Paul Young's more experienced Lucifers Star by a long-looking four lengths in a respectable 24.52sec.

Island Walk has now won two races from both his starts since arriving in mainland Britain, after picking up two events in all-the-way fashion when based in Ireland, and looks a useful individual in the making.

The fact that connections decided to run the likeable type in Open company on only his second outing suggests he could be something special one day, and boasting plenty of scope for improvement, Island Walk looks worth keeping on the right side in the coming months.
