Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained HIGH SPARROW finished behind some decent types behind in the shape of the winner, Treacysenniscorthy, The Jam Man, Column Of Fire and Tout Est Permis in a 51K contest at Fairyhouse earlier this month with more fancied Morosini, Cabaret Queen and Gardens Of Babylon well in rear. The seven-year-old can win for the third time over hurdles with Royal Thief in first time cheekpieces emerging as the biggest danger. C&D winner A Great View is capable of bouncing back to form last seasons champion bumper winner at the Cheltenham festival Relegate could also come into the mix. It's All Guesswork, third of 13 in this contest 12 months ago could go well.
