Walkon gives punters hopes of a prosperous end to 2011
The Nick Williams-trained For Non Stop sets the standard based on his effort at Cheltenham last time where he pushed Al Ferof all the way, being beaten just a neck in the finish. That would suggest he’s already a much better chaser than he was a hurdler but I’d like to see more of him before getting too excited.
The extra couple of furlongs should be in his favour and he receives a handy seven pounds from Cue Card and Walkon, but he was a faller on his debut over fences and also hit the turf once over hurdles.
