CLOSUTTON hails from a top yard and catches the eye on paper so is taken to make a winning start in this closing bumper. Walks The Talk shaped well on her debut when third in a bumper here and should ensure Willie Mullins' Westerner mare doesn't have things all her own way. Passing Diamond and Rapid Redemption can fight it out for minor honours.
