Verdict

A very weak looking maiden where Hi Ski and Hot Shimmer, placed behind Elusive Guy here in November, have both been well beaten subsequently. Jewelinthesky attracted support and didn't run badly here a month ago while Roccos Inspiration was looking a likely future winner until pulling up over much further at Thurles. One Cool Lady didn't handle heavy ground at Clonmel after showing promise in bumpers but WALK WITH PAUL looks the one to beat after two fine runs here, the latest in a maiden that has worked out very well.
