Harrison George, Tadalavil and Jaconet are the three to focus on here and the vote is given to Harrison George. The selection picked up really well on his debut when chasing home Robscarvic at Newcastle. That was a good effort considering it was his racecourse bow and if he handles this faster surface and progresses from that run then he should prove tough to beat. Tadalavil put in a respectable effort at Yarmouth last time when he was not beaten far by Ernie Owl, and he certainly looks the type who will win his fair share of races. Jaconet ran green on his debut but still finished a decent third behind River Bounty at Haydock. He is sure to come on for the run so he has to be one of the more likely winners today. There are several interesting newcomers in this race so the market should provide a guide on whether or not they are fancied, but Harrison George sets a fair benchmark and is taken to score.
