        Verdict

        Drenagh sets the standard but looks fully exposed and will probably find at least one too good again. Sullivan's Brow is probably better than he showed at Sedgefield and Russian Virtue was second in a small race at Plumpton last month. Nine Nine Nine requires improvement, however, with BENIGN DICTATOR having more potential. Olly Murphy’s hurdling newcomer won his bumper here in November and didn’t really get the run of the race in Listed company at Ascot later. Western Baron is a full brother to a couple of winners so is well worth a market check.
