ORDER OF ST GEORGE will be a very warm order before heading for Royal Ascot where he's a short-priced favourite for the Gold Cup and also in the Hardwicke Stakes. Very Progressive as a three-year-old where he ended up winning the Irish St Leger, he should do even better this year and shouldn't have too many problems here. Silwana was a cracking three-year-old where she counted a premier handicap over this course and distance amongst her victories but she only had two starts last term and ran poorly. Mandatario stays well but is hardly likely to trouble the selection nor are any of the remaining trio.
