HERE COMES GEORGIE posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Catterick last month and a similar bid may see Patrick Neville's charge finish one place better. 80,000-pound purchase Beneficially Yours was a winner of his sole point-to-point over 3m and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this drop in distance on his Rules debut. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of penalised hurdle winner Cracking Rhapsody.
Prediction : 1st Here Comes Georgie 2nd Beneficially Yours 3rd Cracking Rhapsody

BLUE FIN was far from disgraced on his opening bid over fences when finding only the progressive Trelawne too strong here last month. The gelded son of Shantou races off the same mark and he rates as the one to beat on this drop in class. Fia Fuinidh offered something to work with on his fourth-placed chase bow at Hexham in November and better is expected with that seasonal bow under his belt, while Five Dollar Fine is worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Blue Fin 2nd Fia Fuinidh 3rd Five Dollar Fine

LISLORAN likely found the drop to 2m against him when finishing a respectable third on his reappearance at Hexham last month. This extended 2m3f should see the seven-year-old travel kinder and a first success over hurdles could be on the horizon. R S Ambush is unexposed in this sphere and he isn't taken lightly, while Bushmill Boy should give another good account at this level too.
Prediction : 1st Lisloran 2nd R S Ambush 3rd Bushmill Boy

Runner-up to the talented Giovinco at Aintree last month, UNIVERSAL FOLLY should be well suited by dropping back in trip, having won his previous start at Hexham over shorter. A mark of 124 may still underestimate the eight-year-old, and he gets the vote ahead of easy Kempton scorer Mulberry Hill and Red Happy, who arrives on a hat-trick after winning for new connections at Kelso.
Prediction : 1st Universal Folly 2nd Mulberry Hill 3rd Red Happy

RAMO may have disappointed last time out at Newbury, but he is better judged on his penultimate success at Ludlow and the progressive form he showed towards the end of last season. The six-year-old can make it four wins from his last six starts at the main expense of the class-dropping Howlingmadmurdock and Court Dreaming, who ran his best race for some time over C&D earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Ramo 2nd Howlingmadmurdock 3rd Court Dreaming

FENLAND TIGER made the perfect start to life over the larger obstacles when winning over course and distance in October. Sam England's gelding must now compete from a 4lb raised mark, but that might not be enough to stop him with improvement on the cards. Return Fire drops in class and he appeals as a leading candidate following a string of solid performances. Motion In Limine only gave way late on over 3m3f at Sedgefield last month, so he might fare better now eased marginally in trip.
Prediction : 1st Fenland Tiger 2nd Return Fire 3rd Motion In Limine

JUST CALL ME LUCY caught the eye when staying on into fourth at Aintree on her racecourse debut, a race in which the first three home were all more prominent. She looks set to improve with that initial experience under her belt and is preferred to newcomer Cool Lady Too, who represents a trainer who has a solid record in these types of contests. Golden Point is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Just Call Me Lucy 2nd Cool Lady Too 3rd Golden Point
