Howaya Aoife gained his only success over fences over the track and trip in March and is just 3lb higher. Hollybank King has been racing in softer conditions since scoring on good ground at Thurles in February where he had Golden Ferret behind, though the latter has improved subsequently. WALKING THE WALK has improved since tackling longer trips and this doesn't look the most competitive of handicaps so he can get off the mark.
