11st 10lb |
Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |

Close second of 16 at Taunton (3m, good) in December, after a break, and again ran well in defeat at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January; more exposed than some of these but still respected. |

Won a Huntingdon novice (2m, good) for Gary Moore in April 2022; returned last month from a mammoth absence and ran a lot better at Bangor next time following wind surgery, although he was well beaten and didn't jump too well; may prefer drier ground. |

Only 4lb higher than when a convincing winner of this race last year (on soft) and ran as though his run 15 days ago would bring him on; couldn't discount. |

Won Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good to soft) for Milton Harris last December but he has a mixed record since; wasn't beaten far when third of five at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but he's now 1-11 over hurdles and others are more convincing. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Bumper winner in France but he's generally struggled in Britain and has failed to complete in chase handicaps in his last two runs; dropped another 4lb but he needs a transformation back over hurdles. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper winner in France; has far-from-solid claims on British form but he's in good hands and unexposed over fences; admittedly well held when unseating rider two out at Ffos Las (2m; 11-2 for chase debut) most recently. |
7/1 |
Verdict
David Pipe’s SIZING POTTSIE may have bumped into one at Uttoxeter and that effort suggests the wind operation has had a positive effect. Colonial Empire might be on a tough mark but it was a solid run at Musselburgh. Transatlantic fared best of the four who ran in the same Bangor handicap on Saturday but he endured a hard race in finishing a well-held third.[Alistair Jones]
