    Verdict

    Cheltenham Gold Cup hero CONEYGREE is hard to oppose on his return to action. The high class chaser has gone well fresh before and this should put him spot on for a likely tilt at the Hennessy later in the month. Southfield Theatre looks next best on his second to Don Poli in the RSA Chase at Cheltenham though Puffin Billy is progressing nicely having won four of his six starts over fences so far. Seventh Sky was pulled up on his reappearance and will do well to figure.
