Jamie Codd rides Sizingdowntherhine and that is reason enough to put Jim Dreaper’s dual points winner on the short-list. He was beaten under a length in a maiden at Fairyhouse last month having led at the last. Clondaw Frisby won at Downpatrick last season and has won five times between the flags, including an Open last month. Enniskillen is very much a Punchestown specialist but EDDIES MIRACLE beat Clondaw Frisby and Quiet Account at Tyrella in January and was taking on decent opposition at Fairyhouse last month so gets the nod under Barry O’Neill.
