      Verdict

      Geordie George is usually thereabouts without winning and steps up in trip. Caprior Bere is preferred after finishing ahead of Carry On Deryck in a Listed race at Lingfield when behind the Richard Hannon-trained Lexington Times. Hannon runs HAIL CLODIUS in this and he gets a tentative vote on his reappearance having beaten three subsequent winners in a Newmarket maiden in August. Billy Slater has been off the track since June and makes his handicap debut while Beverley winner Pleiades ran poorly back at the same track a fortnight ago though it's too soon to write him off just yet. Goring was due to run at Brighton yesterday.
