      Verdict

      Damarisco gets the confident here with Longstone Boy and The Mighty Sparrow rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Native Commander, this looks easier and despite his penalty he need only put in a clear round to score. Longstone Boy rates the main danger on his latest second behind Dun An Doras but that was in a hunter chase and this looks tougher so he has a little to find. The Mighty Sparrow is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has ran as if in the handicappers grip of late. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Damarisco.
