FormscanBy 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.
