Verdict

VERBAL SPARRING's record over hurdles stands at 0-13 but he went down narrowly when finding only an in-form rival too strong at Naas and is taken to deservedly get his head in front here. He may have most to fear from Highland King, who hasn't done much in a handful of runs in this sphere but he was a winner on the Flat in March and has improver written all over him now going down the handicap route in this sphere. Caoimhes Pet is best of the rest.

  1. VERBAL SPARRING (IRE)
  2. HIGHLAND KING (IRE)
  3. CAOIMHES PET (IRE)
