Verdict

DEMOPOLIS hasn't had much racing over fences and shaped better than the result (set plenty to do) when fourth in a handicap at Carlisle last time, so he's taken to build on that and resume winning ways. The veteran Finnegan's Garden is in excellent heart, so he strikes as the main danger ahead of Mouseinthehouse.
