€32,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3m) Caius Marcius. Naturally of interest given the yard he represents and the market will be informative.

Forecasts

Did I Ask You That (1/1), Pour Les Filles (4/1), Park Of Kings (4/1), One And Only (8/1), Wasthatok (18/1), Get It Right (22/1), Bop Bop Bobbin (33/1), The Contractor (33/1), Lazy O (100/1)

PARK OF KINGS is up against a couple of very likely-looking newcomers in Did I Ask You That and Pour Les Filles but it could be that his experience will give him an edge. Paul Nolan's charge made an encouraging start to his career when third on debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month and improvement should be forthcoming. Did I Ask You That is marginally preferred to Pour Les Filles as the main danger. One And Only needs a second look in the betting.
