        Verdict

        A weak contest and stakes are advised to be kept to a minimum. Blushing Spur has the best claims on these terms according to official BHB figures but the five-year-old has been well below form of late including over hurdles. Sharp Gossip has some useful turf form in the context of this race and shouldn't be dismissed but the vote goes to Red Delirium. The seven-year-old was most unfortunate to suffer a half-length defeat behind Merely A Monarch (Mystic Venture fifth and held) over the course and distance in November but settle the score when the pair clashed at Wolverhampton the following month. The selection has nothing to fear from either rival and is suited by the race conditions.
