Formscan By Donal Murphy - Now in the Irish National winning silks of Paul Byrne, I WALKED THE LINE should prove hard to beat. Formerly in the care of Cormac Doyle, the Walk In The Park five-year-old did well to win on his debut for Willie Mullins at Clonmel in January, beating nine-time point-to-point winner Magic Sadler into second. The youngest runner in the line-up here, the selection has the most scope for progression and could prove a class above his rivals. A close third in a bumper at Fairyhouse in November and the winner of three point-to-points, Catalani is the second choice. Providing Tadgh Stafford with his first track success at Cork on Easter Monday, Lawful Ruler warrants respect, while Tetratema Cup third Cold Old Fire and last year's winner Ta Se Rua are others for the shortlist.
A steeplechase for ] Certified Hunters five years old and upwards that have not won more than one Steeplechase confined to Certified Hunters and that have been placed first, second, third or fourth in a Certified Hunters Steeplechase in Ireland or in a Point-to-Point Steeplechase in Ireland between 1st October, 2022 and 14th April, 2026
Weights - 11st 7lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
Penalties - Penalty - (to count from 1st January, 2025) Winner of a steeplechase 7lb extra

Quotes on Cold Old Fire (IRE)
We expected him to be placed, definitely, but obviously the favourite fell and it opened up that way,. We were hoping to finish second so we're delighted with him, as he is a small little horse but is as tough as nails and jumps out of the stable raring to go every morning. Darragh had a treble last Sunday, when he had his 100th point-to-point winner, and rides the odd horse for me.

Quotes on I Walked The Line (IRE)
He is brilliant to jump, made one mistake which was my fault - but I liked him. We finished a long way clear of the third. We have been trying to replace Billaway and I had Cause For Comment last year who didn't quite measure up, so I got this horse and I'm hoping to make him into a Billaway-type horse. Being by Walk In The Park attracted me to him, as I love those, and he is for sale to stay in the yard. Cormac Doyle, who is fairly sharp, recommended him strongly and said he was weak in his first few runs before winning a point-to-point on his fourth start. I'll look to a winners' of one hunters chase next and maybe aim him for the Ladies Cup at Punchestown then and afterwards to Stratford. Next year, as a six-year-old, I'd hope to work towards Cheltenham.

Quotes on Lawful Ruler (IRE)
Tadhg loves racing and always has done, so this is a wonderful day. He'd love to stay race-riding but is a tall lad so his weight might come against him. Tadhg rides out for Paul (Stafford), my daughter Abbie, who has a handlers' license for point-to-pointing and also for Conor Maxwell and Ian Donoghue. I'm the farrier at Tattersalls, so buy a few horses every year and picked this horse up as a three-year-old.

Quotes on Ta Se Rua (GB)
Gordon's horse (Elliott, Last Round) was only a few lengths ahead of him at Thurles the last day, so I thought he wouldn't be far away from him again today. He didn't really get the three miles and a furlong there, so I was hoping the trip today would suit. I've had him since he was a foal and he is a family pet. All the lads in the yard ride him and it's unlucky for Evan Daly. He would have been riding him but he was short one ride in a point-to-point to ride in this race. Andy gave him a super ride and is great value for his 7lb. His dam is a half-sister to horse called Lough Derg that Martin Pipe used to have. He would stay forever, but this fella doesn't quite get the three mile trip. He might get it when he is 14!
