Verdict

Red Georgie has done nothing wrong so far and is the obvious choice in this bumper to round off the card, with Elfkirk and Charming Fellow the most likely dangers. The selection has won both of his races so far and this son of Old Vic absolutely hacked up at Worcester last time when beating Sintos. He is clearly going the right way and will take plenty of beating. Elfkirk won her bumper well on her debut back in April when beating Lofty Leader. She would not want any further rain, and she could go well if she has progressed since that run. Charming Fellow is a well-bred newcomer from a leading yard so the market should be watched for any signs of support, a comment that would also apply to Karanja and Sesame Rambler. But Red Georgie sets a good standard for the rest here and it will be a surprise if he is not able to complete the hat-trick of wins.
