In depth

Verdict

Via Del Corso, a moderate handicapper on the Flat, has shown ability over hurdles and this shouldn't take too much winning. Kestrel did very well to finish runner-up to Bell Weir at Gowran but blotted his copybook at Ballinrobe three weeks later. Never Complain won a point in November but hasn't shown a great deal in two starts over timber though a bad mistake didn't help last time. It's difficult to know what to make of SIZING SAHARA as he didn't get far at Clonmel last time but he's beautifully bred and has enough potential to be given the verdict.
