      Verdict

      Nick's Choice,King Georges,Sindapour and Papillon de Iena are a handful against the field in a wide open handicap hurdle and the narrow vote is given to King Georges. The selection was a fair third behind Rowley Hill last time out, that form has since been franked and with this faster surface in his favour and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Nicks Choice rates the main danger as he has been in the form of his life of late and won well last time out when beating Fabrezen with plenty in hand. However as a consequence he is rising in the weights and with the ground drying up he looks worth taking on at likely odds. Sindapour is taking a big drop in class here and is from a shrewd yard so should be noted in the market especially if the ground remains on the fast side. Papillon de Iena is another dropping in class but looks the stables second string on jockey bookings. Of the remainder Yourman has become disappointing of late while Lesdream looks weighted up to the hilt and for the winner we return to King Georges.
