      Verdict

      ELUSIVE GEORGE made a promising start over 7f at Wolverhampton when only caught close home. John Quinn's colt had Feisty Dragon well behind and can get off the mark in this. Almargo has failed to build on an opening third at Lingfield last season but any strong support in the betting on his return could prove significant. The remainder with experience are hard to fancy, though it's worth keeping an eye on the newcomer Jaywalker as he's related to a winning sprinter in France.
