Easter return for Walk Of Shame Trainer Eugene O'Sullivan has sunnier days in mind for Walk Of Shame, with the five-year-old currently on a break after his Dundalk maiden success at the end of October. O'Sullivan also owns Walk Of Shame, and the Mutathir gelding was having his fourth start for the County Cork operator when landing a polytrack mile event under Gary Carroll. The Flat-bred is an interesting type when one considers that he went off a well-backed favourite on debut in a Newbury bumper last spring when under John Butler's tutelage. Barry Geraghty was aboard on that occasion when Walk Of Shame finished down the field. "He's on a break and he'll be back maybe around Easter time. He was in training all last winter and all last summer so he had to get a break some time," explained O'Sullivan. "I know he ran on soft ground and then he won on the all-weather in Dundalk but I'd prefer to have him for next summer. "I'm planning on going dual purpose with him — hurdle and Flat — he's a great jumper. "He's in good health and if the all-weather is still going at Easter he'll run there, and if not he'll go straight on the Flat. He's got loads of options being a maiden as he is over jumps. "I ran him in Galway last year but I think he was gone a bit over the top when I got him from England."
