Verdict

Off The Wall and Turn Over Sivola, who comes from solid jumping stock, are newcomers to note in the betting here while Amron Lad was just beaten in a point-to-point at Dromahane in the spring only to be thrown out after his rider failed to weigh-in. Be All Man was second at Sligo in May but POPULATION appears to set a decent standard on his comfortable defeat of Barrakilla and today's rival Crystal Swing over C&D three weeks ago. His stable is still in good form and he can defy the penalty with Jack Quinlan reducing his burden by 3lb. Uttoxeter winner Ifyouletmefinish looks the pick of the remainder as Harry Topper hasn't been seen since scoring at Hereford on his debut in April.
