Verdict

This represents a golden opportunity for WALK WITH PAUL to open her account at the third attempt. She went down narrowly over this C&D on debut in November and dropping back in trip looks a good move given her stamina was seemingly stretched upped to 2½m back here on deep ground last month. One Cool Lady shaped pretty well on her recent hurdles debut at Clonmel and she gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of point winner Alo's Vision and Roccos Inspiration.
