Verdict

Enda Bolger has won seven of the last eight and has four entries this time around. Cantlow, runner-up to Quantitativeeasing in the La Touch over 4m1f here in April, looks comfortable the best of them and a recent run over timber will have put him straight. Mtada Supreme beat that winner over this course and distance in April though was receiving 7lb and has a bit more to do under his penalty. FOXROCK will be having his first start in this sphere having spent most of the past couple of years racing in Grade 1 company including when just a length behind Don Poli in the Lexus in December. He's much better class than any of these rivals and if taking to the track will be the one to beat. The Job Is Right has been a useful handicap chaser for some time and looks just the type to do well at this game though that remark also applies to Goonyella, runner-up in last year's Scottish National and an excellent fifth in the Grand National this year. Ballyboker Bridge is a standing dish in these race and won over the course and distance in January so he can get into the action.
