COMPLETE SIZING returned from a year off to beat the odds-on Saint Benedict by five lengths at Clonmel earlier this month and Jamie Codd is on board again. Some Man had beaten the latter by seven lengths on the same track last January so there's little between the pair and his yard have a cracking record in this. Templebredin also holds a verdict over the luckless Saint Benedict though only by a head at Clonmel in January. Alpha Male was beaten eight lengths when runner-up in this a year ago and it looks a tougher race this time while dual point-to-point winner Outside The Ring is making his debut over regulation fences.
