VERBAL SPARRING (4) was denied by 0.75L at Naas last time. Conditions to suit again and receives help of apprentice weight claim. Hard to oppose. BIGIRA (9) has been going nicely of late. Ran 2.25L third at Kilbeggan two starts ago which reads well. May do better again. Big winning chance. HIGHLAND KING (3) brings some good flat efforts. Likely to improve now handicapping in this sphere representing shrewd connections. Confidence would be greatly increased seeing market support. GRAND CRU CHATHO (7) returns from a near seven month absence. Well weighted on best form and could be fit for return. Shortlist.
