Race preview
SIZING POTTSIE was a useful novice last season winning a beginners' event at this venue and following up in the Grade 3 Flyingbolt Novice Chase at Navan. The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding has kept some good company this term including when only giving best on the run-in behind Felix Desjy in a Grade 2 at Punchestown and a stone bruise prevented an intended clash with Chacun Pour Soi in the Hilly Way at Cork last Sunday. This certainly looks a more winnable opportunity. Chosen Mate has earned top-weight by virtue of victory in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He also won on the Flat at Killarney this summer and now reverts to fences with Rob James taking off a valuable 7lb. Daly Tiger's victory over Tornado Flyer in a valuable handicap at Punchestown has been well-advertised since, while Off You Go and Entoucas are others to consider.
