Formscan - Star Walking opened her account in this discipline at the second time of asking when digging deep at Wincanton last month. However, an opening mark of 113 does demand more of Harry Fry's mare and the experienced SUNDAY SOLDIER is more appealing. The daughter of Shantou was far from disgraced when second on her chase bow at Exeter 31 days ago and she looks capable of regaining the winning thread reverting to hurdles. Greyval and Lindy Reilly are others to consider.
