In depth
Verdict
Walkers Point was scoring for the first time in 27 starts over hurdles when scrambling home at Downpatrick so a 10lb rise looks a bit harsh. ZINAT attempted to make all over an extended 2m1f at Ballinrobe and only weakened close home where she was passed by runner-up Yeat's Encore and the third Marino Marvel. Today's shorter trip can see her hang on though Caridadi ran very well when runner-up at the same fixture, a race in which the favourite Ashton Court departed at the first.
