FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - TREES VALLEY is taken to make a winning handicap debut. She won a point-to-point in style from the front last time and she’s a well-bred mare that would add to her value as a breeding prospect were she to put track success to her name. The Mahler mare is out of an unraced half-sister to a classy horse in Valley Henry, and there are other multiple winners close up in the pedigree such as Twin Plan and Major Malarkey. A top pilot has been booked for the spin in Darragh O’Keeffe, and he’s recently rewarded his many followers with 66/1, 25/1 and 8/1 winners. Meanwhile trainer Liam Burke sent out a winner, a second and a fourth in the latter stages of July. On the back of a Tramore win over fences Ballybrowney Walk is now rated 99 at that game. She has to be considered off 93 here.
