      Verdict

      Big Georgie's second to Join Together at Wincanton reads well and the pair were clear of the remainder. He's already won twice between the flags this year but CARLTON RYAN has won four of his last five point-to-points and is on a steep upward curve. He makes his debut under Rules today but will have been schooled over bigger fences and should be up to the task. Cab On Times won easily at Cocklebarrow last month but the opposition was modest. Mister Teddy fell in this race two years ago and Gentle Duke was a well-beaten fifth 12 months ago.
