Ladbrokes Ireland Kinloch Brae Chase (grade 3)

With Gold Cup hero Don Cossack retired, his hat-trick bid in this race has been denied. His trainer has a leading contender in Sub Lieutenant, with two wins and a credible third on his CV this term. He could be the real deal but preference is for SIZING JOHN. He once more chased after Douvan over Christmas and has the class to snare this prize on his second start for new trainer. Black Hercules and Smashing are both going to be better suited by today's terms than their most recent starts can will surely play their respective parts in what looks a cracking race. 1.
