Verdict
Sizing Sahara made his debut here last month and was never travelling well in the testing going. He trailed home a long way behind the winner and though conditions may be more in his favour he can hardly be fancied. Forced Kin made a promising start on heavy ground at Thurles but was well beaten in a better race at Leopardstown. ELSIE finished runner-up to a pair of classy performers before starting odds-on for a Killarney bumper a fortnight ago. Unfortunately for her supporters she hung very badly and ran out with a circuit to go so can hardly be entrusted with the mortgage but providing she doesn't repeat those antics she should take this. Lotus Lily, who is the first foal of a winning bumper, looks best of the remainder.
