Useful hurdler Aminabad made a fair start over fences behind The Winkler at Downpatrick and there shouldn't be too many of the winner's calibre in this. Gambling Girl looked a nice prospect when a close second to King Of The Picts at Fairyhouse and though disappointing subsequently she's young enough to bounce back and will be better suited by the ground than most. Sizing Tennessee has won two bumpers and scored twice over hurdles but was always more likely to make a chaser. His victory over Bright New Dawn at Navan in January points to his chances and if he takes to fences he has to be thereabouts. SAM RED is the interesting one here. Alan Fleming's five-year-old has had very little experience and has been biding his time before tackling fences but a close third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last April advertises his claims and he's handed the vote.
