15:15 Lady's Cove Handicap Chase (0-95)

Race preview

With blinkers deployed for the first time, WALKING THE WALK might finally be able to get his head in front. The seven-year-old did win a point-to-point on his third start back in February of 2020 but has gone 25 track runs without success since. Beaten by just a nose at Downpatrick in October, on his debut for Gordon Elliott, he again had to settle for minor honours on his two most recent starts. Eddies Pride finally made the breakthrough on her 30th outing at Fairyhouse last month and she should give a good account of herself with Gary Noonan taking a valuable 7lb off. Courting Vickie is another recent winner in the line-up and she too is a leading contender. Kings Halo has some snippets of form and it will be interesting to see how he fares. Others for the shortlist are admirable veteran Garrai Phaidin and top-weight Ocojohn.
