MONSIEUR GEORGES can rate no more than a tentative selection, giving he was winning for only the second time in a long career when scoring at Plumpton recently but this is also a sharp, left-handed chase track and Violet Jordan's charge gets the vote to follow up. Donald Will Do finished a well beaten third here last time but can do better in this lesser company, while Kinkeel will appreciate the quick ground and could figure. Mad Professor could prove best of the rest.
