Verdict

SIZING SANTIAGO, a half-brother to Take The Stand, has his first run since transferring from Nigel Twiston-Davies and is just the type to make a staying chaser. He gets the vote with his allowance and can take care of another chasing debutant Jakros, who made mistakes on his return from an absence over hurdles at Fairyhouse. Misala, a progressive novice hurdler, made a fair start over timber behind De Valira at Listowel and looks best of the remainder.
