FormscanBy Tom Weekes - WALK WITH PAUL has shown promise on two course runs. Once registered to be owned by John Magnier, she made a belated debut when running well on the inside-course in November and while well held during Christmas, the winner and runner-up have won since and she drops to a weaker maiden. One Cool Lady, also lightly-raced, has also shown promise but was well held on recent jumps debut and might struggle to beat the selection. Eight year old Hi Ski was second here in November (beating Hot Shimmer into third) but was well held subsequently. Roccos Inspriation was reported post race normal when pulling up at Thurles and returns from a mini-break while Alo's Vision won a recent point-to-point and steps up in grade.
