In depth
Verdict
Barons Revenge didn't attract much attention at Punchestown and was beaten a long way but should find this company more to his liking. Dual point-to-point winner Kalanisi Flash is likely to find this on the short side but THE WALLPARK has transferred to Gordon Elliott after showing potential in bumpers and over hurdles so he could be good enough. Our Uncle Jack and Augusta George may prove best of the remainder in a poor bumper.
