Verdict
Final List has a penalty to overcome for his bumper victory on heavy going. He made a very encouraging debut over timber at Naas behind Valdieu and looks certain to take some beating. He's Ok finished around six lengths back in third and looks held while Makka Pakka, who ran well when runner-up over timber at Clonmel, reverted to a bumper at Down Royal and ran poorly so will need to do better. GREAT WHITE SHARK will also have to improve from his hurdling bow at Fairyhouse where his jumping went to pieces. He'll have been given plenty of schooling and is handed the vote though Polished Steel ran quite well in a handicap here last month.
