Several of these have had enough opportunities and failed to take them so a chance is taken with WALK THE LINE. Joseph O'Brien's High Chaparral colt cost 180,000gns and is out of a 6f winner from a very smart family. Zauffaly had seven races in the UK before running reasonably well on heavy ground at Listowel for new connections while Intense Stylist has now run 14 times. The latter is very consistent but frustrating and Waitaki looks to have a better chance of finally getting off the mark. He showed some decent form over this trip in the spring and was returning from a long break when staying on over 5f at Down Royal earlier this month. Truffles had no answer to the winner on fast ground at Leopardstown but had earlier run well on soft going at Galway while Kissing Bubbles caught the eye when staying on strongly over a mile at Navan.
