Verdict

MAHLER APPEAL is far less exposed than most he meets here and took a step forward when runner-up on handicap debut at Galway (3m) 24 days ago. Further progress is distinctly possible on the back of just 4 career starts and he could be the answer. Problem Solver put it all together and relished the step up in trip when scoring at Tipperary in October and he's feared, ahead of Well Polly.
