Verdict
Bingo George never figured in a tough handicap when last at the track back in July but is weighted to beat both Illusive Force and Highwayman. The latter has an apprentice's allowance in his favour today while St Andrews ran well enough without threatening at Newcastle on his debut in August and can also figure. But John Gosden's representatives are always to be feared at this venue and REMARKABLE may be good enough on his reappearance especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
