FormscanBy John O'Riordan - THE WALLPARK(6), who is unquestionably well handicapped over fences, can land this valuable prize for trainer Gordon Elliott. A high class staying hurdler with an official rating of 155, the eight-year-old has yet to reach those same heights since being switched to fences. However, with his novice season behind him and able to race off 13lb lower in this discipline, the son of Ask is worth another chance. While his jumping frailties will need to have been ironed out, the application of first-time cheekpieces may enable him to travel better. Stablemate Better Days Ahead holds solid claims under his capable amateur, while Win Some Lose Some gives owner JP McManus a particularly strong hand in the race.
