FormscanBy Michael Graham - GRANGE WALK is rated some 30lb lower over hurdles than fences. He tried to exploit that disparity at Clonmel, but went down by a length to the winner. The horse that beat him followed up in Wexford to boost the form. Glan was noted staying on for fifth in a high-quality handicap at Killarney last month. Danny Gilligan's 7lb claim is proving to be a major bonus. Bal De Rio has won three of his last six hurdle races. He should be one of the main protagonists. Mica Malpic hasn't been out since the end of October. In addition, this is only his second crack at hurdles having been extensively campaigned over fences including when winning here on his penultimate start. This trip could be on the sharp side for him.
