Form & Verdict
Walk In The Park mare is sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Blow Your Wad, and half-sister to bumper winner Sweettowatch; dam unraced half-sister to top-class bumper and 2m-3m hurdler/chaser (inc Champion Hurdle) Faugheen; very interesting debutante from top yard (48% strike-rate in bumpers).

Punchestown bumper winner on debut and winning return in a maiden hurdle back there in January this year; lost ground at the start in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham but was only a distant fifth in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle mares' novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month; travelled well for a long way in that race and drop in trip here may help but gives weight to a rival with a higher rating (Royal Eagle).

T: W P Mullins

Unchallenged to win her first two races at Punchestown, a soft-ground bumper early last year and, 12 months later, a heavy-ground maiden hurdle in which her jumping became more polished as the race progressed; denied a chance to prove her worth after a shambles of a start at Cheltenham; should not be out of place in this grade.

Walk In The Park mare finished second in both her point-to-points and again found one too good on Rules debut in Limerick mares' bumper at Christmas, staying on well as if a greater test would suit; probably more of a hurdles prospect but should be thereabouts.
