Verdict
WALKING THE WALK was beaten only a neck by Highstreetfashion over fences here in December. But he can race off a lower mark back over hurdles and is taken to reverse running. Like most of these, Kinnegad Lad is still looking for a first win over hurdles but placed at Ayr in February while Sulafaat finished closer at Downpatrick. Camilla's Choice and Porky Rush may prove best of the rest.
