Race preview
Willie Mullins is mob-handed here with six runners and riding arrangements suggest PINK IN THE PARK is the pick of a sextet of previous winners. The daughter of Walk In The Park was wildly impressive when odds-on for her debut at Listowel last autumn and, while the form hasn't been advertised particularly well since, she's obviously held in high regard by the champion trainer. Harmonya Maker came up against a useful sort on debut in a Listed race at Navan but made no mistake when recording a wide margin victory subsequently at Punchestown. Eabha Grace recorded a facile win at Thurles just before Christmas, while Altior's half-sister Bellatior is yet another Walk In The Park mare with plenty of potential.
