Brother to stable's useful Pink In The Park; placed in two of his three bumper starts; best effort when third of 20 at Punchestown in June; needs to settle better than when a beaten favourite at Sligo; possible that he will do better over hurdles.

From a family chock-full of bumper winners and two solid runs at Punchestown (favourite for neither); fifth at the festival and better last month when third of 20 in useful-looking heat; extra furlong no harm and should be bang there. |

Walk In The Park brother to bumper and 2m/2m3f hurdle winner Pink In The Park, half-brother to winners Beret Rouge (bumper), Wearapinkribbon (2m5f hurdle) and Mister Pink (bumper); dam bumper and useful 2m/2m3f hurdle winner; no real market confidence on C&D debut at the festival last month, never really landing a blow when fourth; should come on for that experience and better ground may suit. |

Plenty of experience over hurdles, including when runner-up in a pair of handicaps early in the year; placed on all three maiden attempts since returning from a break, the latest at Tramore 11 days ago; tendency to find one too good (also twice second on Flat) is a concern; sets the standard but still a touch risky.

Placed in last six starts including when third over C&D last month; probably bumped into a useful type when thrashed at Downpatrick on Monday but going back left-handed will suit better; has been hooded in the past, now tried in sideburns. |
