Verdict
SIZING SOLUTION came very close to winning under Rules on this track before gaining his second victory between the flags at Stradbally. He's only a six-year-old and there should be plenty more to come and recently-crowned point-to-point champion jockey Jamie Codd take the ride. Rohan's Pride arrived at Punchestown for a similar race to this last month with a point-to-point victory to his credit and didn't let his supporters down. He's relatively lightly-raced and is likely to make further progress so has to be a threat. Finea has won three times between the flags including at Necarne last month and Harbour Pilate also won at that fixture but has been well beaten subsequently.
