WALNUT BEACH landed a big-field Punchestown maiden hurdle last month and subsequently performed about as well as could've been expected in a Grade 3 novice at Naas. He has yet to get his head in front on the Flat, but a reproduction of his Galway near miss in October would give him every chance here. Fellow hurdles winner Rich Belief is second choice ahead of Female Approach and Machine Learner.
