Verdict
Paul Nicholls has won two of the four renewals and sends SOUTHFIELD VIC with leading claims. The four-times hurdles winner made a ponderous start over fences with a second at Fakenham but was rated higher over timber than today's main rivals. Souriyan wasn’t beaten far on his chasing bow at Carlisle and is just preferred to last month's Southwell third King's Odyssey but Pursuitofhappiness will do well to figure.
