MY FRIEND GEORGE is the only one of these to have won over the course and distance and has since won over slightly further from 8lb higher. He's up by the same amount for this after several good runs but will take some beating. He had Tiny Dancer a long way behind on Boxing Day while winning bumper and hurdler Total Submission has never scored over fences but has often raced in better company and he should be scoring soon. Master Rajeem dropped down to this level for the first time at Market Rasen in March and started favourite but blundered his way round and was soon beaten. Oscar Lateen looked a decent prospect when landing a handicap easily at Newcastle in December but his recent runs have been very poor.
