VERBAL SPARRING had an excuse last time and had been knocking on the door in similar company prior to that so he gets the nod. Recent course third Red Striker is next on the list ahead of Cheerful Chap who made a positive start for new trainer Philip Rothwell when second at Cork last month. Last-time-out Thurles maiden winner Answering also makes the shortlist.
