FormscanBy Gary Carson - Not much strong recent form to go on here and WHISKEYWEALTH may prove the answer, switching back to timber. The Yeats gelding takes a drop in class having contested the valuable Dan %26 Joan Moore Memorial Chase at Fairyhouse last time and he looks on a nice mark over hurdles. He had been running a big race when falling in front two from home at Thurles in a handicap hurdle previously and is capable of scoring off his current rating. Verbal Sparring was well beaten over further at Punchestown last time and may appreciate dropping back to the minimum trip. He had run well previously over two miles at the Kildare venue when chasing home Billy Lee Swagger. Star Official has been knocking on the door and looks like another for the shortlist.
