GEORDIE B had some useful form for Venetia Williams a few seasons back but returned after a considerable absence to place in a point before running Dolphin Square to 3l in receipt of just 2lb at Lingfield last month. A repeat of that level would make him hard to overcome here. Demain Des L'Aube showed a little more last time in a point after a series of modest runs and would be a threat if showing the form which saw him land a Kilbeggan beginners' chase for Henry De Bromhead last summer. Ferocious hasn't gone at all badly the last twice and enters the equation, whilst Shanroe Street needs to try and find his best form from the past.
