Complete Sizing, unbeaten in four starts between the flags, started odds-on for his hunter-chase debut at Down Royal in May but was reported to have finished lame and was beaten a long way. He'll have been out hunting so should be fit enough to make his presence felt but SOME MAN may have his measure. Formerly with Paul Nicholls, he had no problems completing a double in point-to-points in October and looks the type to go on to better things. Saint Benedict will be better for last month's run at Limerick while Holycross Lito, who won four times between the flags in 2017, returned to the point-to-point field after a spell over hurdles with an emphatic victory at Loughanmore and should get into contention.
