An ultra-competitive finale. FIRECELY PROUD did well as a novice hurdler last season and ran creditably in a big-field handicap at Sandown on his final outing, especially considering he was left with a bit too much to do, so he's an appealing candidate on this return to action with his rider able to claim 10 lb against his rivals. Jilaijone has been shown some leniency by the assessor and can go on well on his reappearance, with hat-trick seeker Here Comes Georgie also of firm interest.
