    Verdict

    CHIEF DAN GEORGE has been found a suitable opportunity to break his duck over fences though Nine De Sivola and Killyglen are sure to have their supporters. Jimmy Moffatt's charge has gone into many notebooks as a likely chaser to follow but those punters have enjoyed no success this term. That said, his form behind Skippers Brig appears solid. Nine De Sivola seems capable of acting on any surface but by the same token, seems to find one too good. He was well backed at Sandown Park last time out though the backers soon knew their fate. Killyglen will do well to shoulder a penalty all around. He beat Tot O'Whiskey handsomely at Carlisle but needs to have improved since. Bold Ransom has to reverse form with our selection and is not weighted to do so. Great Approach might be best if allowed a soft lead though he does not appear to be the best chaser in the Nicky Richards yard at present. Chief Dan George gets the nod.
