Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Walkin Out
Walkin Out has been prolific in the pointing field and takes a significant step to regulation fences here, having won most recently by eight lengths; consistent and likely thrown in on that form, with today's good ground and trip looking suitable. Limerick Leader is the clear danger, having taken this race 12 months ago and arriving only 4lb higher after a run of close seconds, with a drop back from a longer trip that found him out late also in his favour. Vengeance is held on recent chase form but unexposed over fences and could stay on for a place. Walkin Out is our selection.
