This contest may go to a well-handicapped sort and WALKABOUT is a fascinating contender. He may not have shown much on the Flat just yet but he's become too well-handicapped to ignore on the best of his hurdles form. Departures ran well on handicap debut last time and has to be considered off bottom-weight while Lean And Keen is another on an appealing mark.
