Formscan By Gary Carson - WALK ON THE BEACH ran a big race on his hurdling debut in a strong contest at Naas just over three weeks ago and can go one better now. The Joseph O’Brien-trained gelding, winner of a Killarney bumper last August, chased home Kalix Delabarriere on his jumping bow and doesn’t need to improve much to score now. Krak was two-and-a-half lengths behind Kala Delabarriere when the pair filled the places behind Ballybow at Naas in late January and he could be the danger. Hello Jack has a couple of solid placed efforts in the book and is another for the shortlist.
