Weakened tamely at Punchestown on bumper debut but much better in an added tongue tie (retained) at Ballinrobe when a clear runner-up (Time For Talking behind in third); Derek O'Connor is back aboard and big run expected.
Walk In The Park gelding; dam maiden in points and 2m-2m4f hurdles, closely related to winners Offaly (bumper/2m4f hurdle/2m5f chase) and Blencathra Bay (bumper); top rider aboard and in good hands so worth a market check.
Fine Flat pedigree; sold by Godolphin unraced for 40,000gns last autumn; 11-1 for bumper debut at Killarney (2m1f, good yielding) but raced wide and was well beaten; much more required.
16,000euros 3yo; seventh foal; half-brother to bumper/2m7f hurdle winner Chance The Robin; unraced dam closely related to high-class bumper and 2m-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Snoopy Loopy, half-sister to useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner Sam Adams; others make more appeal.
Did well on debut to take third at Ballinrobe, particularly as his rider lost his balance and irons after a few furlongs before regaining them; 3.5l behind Bacharach on that occasion and 5lb worse off now so work to do.
Brother to 2m4f hurdle winner Parish Star, half-brother to Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner Eastern Voice (RPR 90); dam maiden (61) sister to 6f 2yo/2m hurdle winner Freedom Square, half-sister to useful 1m4f Flat/2m hurdle winner Via Galilei; best watched.
Half-sister to winners Henschke (2m5f/3m1f chase), Reserve Judgement (2m7f/3m1f hurdle) and Nanny Betty (point); dam unraced half-sister to 2m5f-3m hurdle/chase winner Letbeso, family of high-class staying chasers Grey Abbey and The Grey Monk; trainer 0-33 in bumpers last five seasons.
Walk In The Park filly the first foal out of top-class racemare Benie Des Dieux; despite her pedigree, she was relatively unfancied on her debut at Listowel and finished a distant third; needs to show a good bit more.
