FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE WALLPARK has progressed well this summer and is on a hat-trick after landing a valuable 2m6f here at the Festival meeting. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding stays well and gets the vote in a race where the market will provide important clues. Fakir D’oudairies is a high-class gelding over fences winning four times at Grade 1 level but hasn’t run over hurdles in over five years while French Dynamite is also a smart chaser and won his last hurdle start but that was nearly two years ago. Lord Erskine has proved a tremendous dual-purpose performer for connections and rolled back the years when landing a valuable 2m handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival this spring, while Kings Hill steps up in trip and has a bit to do at the weights.
