Walk In The Park gelding. Dam modest 2½m hurdle winner. Betting should guide to expectations on debut but he'll need to be useful to play a prominent role.

Forecasts

King Of Kingsfield (2/1), Lecky Watson (5/2), Caldwell Potter (7/2), Special Cadeau (9/2), Cato Capone (14/1), Fascile Mode (16/1), Shuil Valentine (25/1), Rockstown Girl (40/1), Teuchters Glory (40/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins is taken to land a third successive win in this race courtesy of LECKY WATSON. This 4-y-o lost a race in the stewards' room last time but that means he escapes a penalty here and he can take full advantage of the 7 lb he receives from the previous winners in the line-up. Gordon Elliott pair King of Kingsfield and Caldwell Potter may give him most to do.
