SIZING GOLD made a very promising debut behind subsequent winning hurdler Make Your Mark at Punchestown and can go one better, especially as the third has also won since. Vincent Row looked promising behind Morning Assembly at Punchestown and is another certain to make progress while winning point-to-pointer Admiral Barton is one to keep an eye on. Defy Logic is bred to be a useful staying chaser and looks one for the future.
