VERDICT: Verbal Sparring has filled the runner-up spot twice in handicaps this winter notably when staying on nicely behind Whiskeywealth over C&D in February. The selection has been let down by his jumping on both outings since but given a clear round appears on a favourable mark. Red Striker has completed the hat-trick of winning on the Flat, a hurdle and a chase and comes here on the back of a promising third to Ernie From Nurney in a 25-runner handicap at this venue. Answering justified favouritism in a Thurles maiden last month and rates a threat along with Cheerful Chap who beat all bar Clonbury Bridge in a 20-runner 2m4f Cork handicap last month. Clarens has disappointed twice since a promising second at Navan, but the booking of Jack Kennedy is interesting.
