Verdict

Follow The Crowd has been chasing and finished a close third behind today's rival Captain Jimmy at Galway in October after scoring at Roscommon. He's better off in the weights with that rival, who hasn't run subsequently. Dr Val is still a maiden but has twice gone close in recent weeks while Seangoell only just failed to add to his sole success when going down narrowly on heavy ground at Limerick. Winning point-to-pointer Mahler Appeal ran well behind the in-form Cher Why Not at Fairyhouse but the form pick has to be WALKING THE WALK. He gained his first success over fences at Tramore last month before beaten a neck from 9lb higher at Down Royal and reverts to hurdles on a 14lb lower mark.
