WALKABOUT has been a shade disappointing over the Irish Sea at Dundalk recently but this is likely to prove less competitive and he's on a good mark if he can transfer his hurdle form to the Flat. Kay Sara has hit some form of late and can't be ruled if returning in the same form. Trending's mark looks a little high but with the stable in good form, he could well be able to grab a place.
1. Distant High
2. Kay Sera
3. Trending
