Race preview
Jake Coen has a good ride here too on WALNUT BEACH who wouldn't be winning out of turn on the Flat. He was placed three times on the level in the autumn and, after finishing second over hurdles at Cork in early August, ran well back in this sphere when third over two miles at Tramore. The winner franked the form with a solid run under a penalty next time. Fox Fearless also mixes hurdling and Flat racing and won over this trip at Bellewstown in April. He finished well to be third at Leopardstown on his latest Flat outing and that form has been boosted since. Benz has moderate enough Flat form but won a maiden hurdle last time and may be competitive from a lowly mark. Building Bridges has been in very good heart over hurdles this summer with two wins and was a course winner on the level in 2019.
