Not the easiest of finale's but SIZING CHILE gets the nod to provide Willie Mullins with another winner. He's looked as though he needed the experience on both starts to date and the likely strong pace will suit him in this. Nicky Henderson sends Kempton runner-up Beat That from Lambourn and he won't be coming for the fresh air while Flags Pass made a very promising debut behind The Game Changer at Cork and is guaranteed to improve. Lots Of Memories has had enough chances but Real Steel showed potential at Fairyhouse and his trainer knows how to win these races.
