Verdict
SIZING POTTSIE has been sent on the long journey here on his debut for David Pipe and will be a warm order. A Grade 2 winner over fences for Jessica Harrington, he never won in four starts over timber but was placed in huge fields of maidens and was in the lead when falling at the last at Fairyhouse. Jet Legs, beaten a neck at Kelso in April, reappeared with a decent run at Perth while Sanosuke, a winner on the Flat in Ireland, has been placed in all four starts over hurdles. Eloi Du Puy's opening second in a Kelso bumper was on heavy ground so more rain would aid his cause.
