Verdict
Georgebernardshaw has ability but can be a bit of a tricky customer and finished behind One Scoop Or Two over a longer trip at Chester last month. More reliable is DOLPHIN ROCK, who should be approaching peak fitness now and can reverse C&D running with Dazeen on 3lb better terms. David Barron's four-year-old gets the nod though Sir George has been running a little better than his form figures suggest. The once-useful Prince Of Dance looks a shadow of his former self but Venutius is back on a fair mark and could go well if recapturing last year's form which included a victory over C&D on similar ground.
