SIZING ROME is one of the few here with scope and was an impressive winner of a Down Royal hunter chase earlier this month so a quick double looks on the cards. He had Eddies Miracle 4l back in second and Clondaw Frisby another 8l away in fourth and should again take care of that pair. Ajijic has won a couple of times between the flags and ran quite well in a similar race to this at Tipperary and had Abbazagga 12l behind in a point at Belharbour in February. Macs Legend looks best of the remainder.
