Formscan By John O'Riordan - FLEUR IN THE PARK can land this valuable prize for local trainer Andrew Slattery. Grade 1 placed over hurdles as a novice last season, the Walk In The Park gelding has taken really well to fences this term. Just touched off in stronger company at Punchestown when last seen, the seven-year-old can regain the winning thread. Lightly raced former point-to-point winner Soldier In Milan rates the main danger. Off the mark in a Punchestown bumper on his Rules debut, connections wasted little time in switching his attention to chasing. Having made the breakthrough over fences last time, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding commands respect. Jalila Moriviere and C'Est Ta Chance also boast leading claims in a competitive affair.
