Verdict

Georgian King exceeded expectations in a handicap hurdle here last month. Bally Legend likes it here and has been in very good form in fences. This may be a little on the sharp side but he'll probably run his race again and is preferred to Caulfields Venture, who hasn't raced since winning at Fontwell in October, and Dawn Commander who also returns from a break. Heronry looks the pick of Nicky Henderson's two runners ahead of the returning Shakalakaboomboom but the one to beat in this is probably SOUTHFIELD THEATRE, who has been competitive in decent company over hurdles since completing his hat-trick at Wincanton in the autumn and has his sights lowered here.
