FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SUNWALK may improve sufficiently from his recent reappearance fifth over course and distance to play a leading role. The Seamus Neville-trained six-year-old was always prominent and only weakened from the second last flight. With that run under his belt, the gelding should be that bit sharper now. Although an infrequent winner, Future Proof has to enter calculations for the in-form Philip Rothwell stable. Twice successful on the level, the nine-year-old has yet to add to his sole win over hurdles. He will find few easier opportunities than the one he is presented with here. Mullins Cross has been running well enough of late to suggest that she, too, can get involved at the business end.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
