Sue and Harvey Smith sponsor this novices’ chase so we can probably expect a good run from Just Georgie, a winner at Wetherby before his latest third at Haydock. However, we just prefer HILLS OF DUBAI as he was a length ahead of the Smiths’ representative at Haydock and is only a pound worse off – he has won twice on heavy going at Ayr this season. Acdc has been pretty consistent since switching to fences and his rider takes off a handy 7lb. Teddy Tee can’t be ignored as he’s yet to finish out of the frame in four runs over the larger obstacles.
