Verdict
A competitive affair, though Just Georgie was due to run yesterday at Wetherby. HILLS OF DUBAI (NAP) has taken really well to fences and is still at the right end of the handicap. He’s won twice at Ayr but this course is similar in nature and he thrives on an easy surface. Bollin Ace is coming along nicely over the larger obstacles and doesn’t look badly treated on his handicap debut. Like the selection, Hogan's Height has won his last two but has been hit with an 8lb rise. Beggar's Wishes and Bako De La Saulaie aren’t out of this but would probably need to up their game.
