Walkon has the Power
Tuesday 16 October 2012 15:54, UK
Alan King has revealed that Walkon will be given an entry for next month's Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Handicap entry for highly-regarded grey
Walkon has been introduced into the Paddy Power Gold Cup betting at 14-1 by the sponsors after trainer Alan King revealed that the grey would have an entry for the first major handicap of the new National Hunt season. Last seen in the Scottish National, in which he was pulled up, the second-season novice would be dropping markedly in trip for the Cheltenham feature on November 17. "Walkon will have an entry in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, but he would be my only possible for the race," said King. "He has done well over the summer and he is back in faster work and schooled for the first time on Monday. "He wouldn't have a prep race before the Paddy Power if he were to run."Click here for a completely free £10 bet with Sky Bet
