Walk In The Park gelding cost 33,000gns as a foal and 65,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to bumper winner Mill House Creek; dam unraced half-sister to winners Hammersly Lake (1m7f-3m hurdle/high-class chase) and Almazhar Garde (useful 2m3f-2m7f chase); ready 10l winner of Tattersalls Farm point-to-point in April for Cormac Doyle (good-to-yielding); has to be respected from yard which has monopolised this race in the last decade.
