SIZING ALBERTA would have no problems winning this on his excellent second to Jetstream Jack at Clonmel in November but he tried to run out on a return visit the following month and prospective backers should bear that in mind. He has a genuine opponent here in Dontbackme, who was returning from a very long break when runner-up to Lofgren at Downpatrick last month and he'll definitely be suited by the longer trip. Kalanisi King has a penalty for his bumper victory and has been beaten a long way in both starts over hurdles, a remark that also applies to point-to-point winner Caniwillyegiveme.
