Avalanche won at Cork last Sunday and can play a part here, despite a 4lb rise. But it’s difficult to oppose OLD TIME WALTZ (NAP) if she’s in the same mood as when winning with something to spare at Naas on Tuesday. Ana O’Brien’s claim halves her penalty and she’s worth another try over this extra furlong given she’s a daughter of brilliant miler Together. The Lords Walk was placed over course and distance last time so looks the pick of the remainder as Circus Ring finished last in a couple of runs in April and hasn’t been seen since.
