12/1

€30,000 3-y-o, £65,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Wait Here, stays 2½m. Placed all 3 starts between the flags and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour on this Rules debut.

Form: 3-332

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: L Donnelly⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hackett

200/1

Forecasts

Pallas Athene (7/4), Annalecka (2/1), Ashdale Flyer (5/1), Slim Marvel (8/1), One For Daisy (10/1), Kiltealy Park (12/1), Redzy Rocco (14/1), Justmadeit (20/1), Get Down To It (66/1), Next Question (200/1), Maivangomary (200/1), Hamazing (250/1)

PALLAS ATHENE was a winner of her sole start in points and, having made an encouraging start under Rules at Limerick recently, she looks the way to go. She may have most to fear from Annalecka, who also successful between the flags and did the job well when taking a bumper on her first start under Rules last spring. Kiltealy Park is just about third choice ahead of Slim Marvel.
