Forecasts

The Wallpark (1/2), Kalanisi Flash (10/3), Barons Revenge (10/3), Fatal Flaw (7/1), Mount Gallion (12/1), Meranti (20/1), Our Uncle Jack (28/1), Ballybit (66/1), Augusta George (66/1), Mustameet's Flame (66/1), Hinch (80/1), Irina's Path (100/1), Wee Terry (100/1), Anooa (200/1)

THE WALLPARK ended his time for his former yard with an excellent third in a bumper at Fairyhouse and, having joined a top outfit, he's expected to open his account at the likely expense of Kalanisi Flash, who made a promising start at Leopardstown 143 days ago. Barons Revenge is also considered despite an underwhelming debut recently.
