Point' winner was runner-up to an exciting type in a Punchestown bumper in May; wasn't overly impressive when winning a Thurles bumper on recent return but going over hurdles and stepping up in trip should suit him; seems to be the stable number one. |

12st 0lb |
Walk In The Park gelding cost 30,000Euros as a 3yo, is half-brother to point winner Our Miss Power; dam once-raced half-sister to St Leger winner Bollin Eric; bolted up in Borris House point-to-point (yielding) and very encouraging bumper debut when second (third and fourth have won since) to a smart type at Punchestown in May (good); seems sure to win a bumper and the one to beat if handling this softer ground. |

Galway maiden hurdle winner in October 2023 on soft, beating a useful rival in Olympic Man; returned from more than two years off the track when tailed off in conditions hurdle in December; finished tamely again when a distant third at this track lto; needs far more on chase debut in first-time cheekpieces but a player if ability remains. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth-time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) in March; looked fortunate because the leader made a bad mistake at the last but he's only 2lb higher here and he had an excuse when stepped back up 2m4f last time; dangerous back in trip. |

0-7 over hurdles but he made it fourth time lucky over fences when scoring on his stable debut at Taunton (2m, good) last month; the leader made a bad mistake at the last but this 8yo wasn't far away at the time and he remains feasibly treated after a 2lb rise; respected back up in trip. |
