Verdict

WHITEWINEWEDNESDAY goes off the same mark as when landing a Sedgefield handicap hurdle under Patrick Mullins last week so this former point winner looks sure to make a bold bid if taking to fences. Walk In The Valley is another with a pointing background and the fact his good second in a course handicap hurdle last November came off a 9-month lay-off suggests his absence since may not be an issue.

3	Stoutly bred sort who showed improved form when second of 7 in a 21f course handicap hurdle last November (his only start of last season). Off 10 months ahead of chase debut (placed in point) but he's evidently capable when fresh. 2nd Pick 3 Walk In The Valley (Ire) Jockey: Danny Mcmenamin Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith J: Danny Mcmenamin T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	82	-	-	-	25%
