      Verdict

      A rejuvenated STRIKE FORCE registered his fifth course victory a week ago and did so with a little bit up his sleeve. A 3lb rise in the handicap doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again. He should confirm superiority with Mighty Clarets but Kildare Sun, who returned to form when winning a claimer here last week, could prove a big threat to the selection. Loyalty has scope for improvement and Nicholas Pocock should give another good account.
