Race preview

PINK IN THE PARK may be able to make a winning start over fences. The Walk In The Park mare was placed in Grade 3 company over timber last season on ground which was probably softer than ideal. She should appreciate this nicer going and the mares allowance is a plus. Jack Kennedy sides with Stuzzikini from the Gordon Elliott pair. He has been runner-up twice over fences from three starts and sets the standard with his official mark of 123. What Path, a former stablemate of the selection, is an interesting raider for Sophie Leech. The Coastal Path gelding won his bumper here a couple of years ago and is entitled to improve from his chase debut at Limerick.
