Race preview
WALK AWAY looks interesting here on his handicap debut off a mark of 136. The Black Sam Bellamy gelding has kept really good company since winning his maiden hurdle at Thurles in March 2019. Both his subsequent runs over timber came in Grade 1 company and he also mixed it against some top class rivals over fences last season. His runs came against Faugheen, Easy Game and Allaho. A rating 136 looks attractive given the obvious regard he is held in. Moyhenna bids for compensation after a narrow defeat in the Kerry National last month. She had a tough race then when just failing to peg back Cabaret Queen and a 4lb rise doesn't make things any easier. Doctor Duffy tries to turn the tables now having finished third to the mares in Listowel. He is a couple of pounds better off.
