Las Verglas Star would have a chance if the ground eases and George Chaloner is one of the best young riders in the race. GEORGE CINQ is not the easiest of rides and needs to deliver his challenge late so Cam Hardie will have his hands full but his mount is talented and suited by a strong gallop which he should get here so he gets the vote to gain compensation for his Sandown defeat. He holds Tigers Tale on that run though Oisin Murphy will ensure the latter gets a good ride while Ned Curtis was on board when Balmoral Castle completed a double at Windsor having already scored over this track and trip. Corton Lad arrives with a 6lb penalty for Sunday's easy victory at Carlisle and, though that was over 1m3f, the pace here should be strong enough for Jason Hart to get him into the action.
