Michael O'Sullivan has been earning plaudits for his riding and has been booked for winning point-to-pointer Mahler Appeal, who he rode when promoted to second over the trip at Galway with Well Polly behind. PROBLEM SOLVER had his first start over this trip at Tipperary and looked ideally suited, overcoming early mistakes and staying on strongly. He can overcome a 6lb rise and go in again. Wild Caprice is still a maiden after 18 starts and her best form has been over shorter.
