Verdict

Bel Sas, runner-up in a point in November, made his debut in a five-runner race at Navan last month and started odds-on but finished last. He looked to have blown up in the last couple of furlongs so with that under his belt and quicker ground he will be expected to make amends. However, that wasn't the best of starts and BINGO CONTI looks better value. Gordon Elliott's charge made his racecourse debut at last year's Punchestown Festival where he ran respectably in a very much stronger race than this. Jimmy Breekie wasn't beaten too far when sent to Ayr last month and can be expected to improve while Paul Rothwell's newcomer Dynaminx, a half-sister to four winners, may prove best of the remainder.
