Verdict

This looks a hot handicap for the grade with WALK AWAY HARRY of particular interest at the foot of the weights given he's well treated on his bumper form for an ultra-shrewd yard. Como Park has blinkers back on over his ideal trip so he's on the shortlist, with Maroto another potential big improver for Willie Mullins.

  1. WALK AWAY HARRY (IRE)
  2. COMO PARK (IRE)
  3. MAROTO (IRE)
