Some guesswork may be required here as few of these arrive in top form. But GEORGE CINQ is an exception and a previous course and distance winner even though most recent runs have been over shorter. Martin Harley's mount just failed to follow up his Doncaster victory at Thirsk last week and another big run is anticipated. It's a worry that Highland Colori has begun to climb the weights again after a few near-misses and he's likely to find at least one too good again but Balty Boys is more than capable of winning a race like this if anywhere near his best and Jonny Portman will be hoping one drops out so Balmoral Castle gets a run as his charge won easily here in the spring and probably needed the run at Goodwood last month.
