BOSTON GEORGE (NAP) looked one to follow when a pleasing second on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby. He hasn't scored in three subsequent outings but has been quite highly tried and is appealing here after finishing a fair sixth in a hot handicap at the Ebor meeting. Trip and ground are fine for the Dalgleish inmate. The form profile of Smile A Mile sends out mixed signals but he's a useful type at his best and no surprise should he bounce back from finishing last of five last time. The other four are not in the best of form at present but Irreverent is suggested as next best and Hot Team the one for a market check.
Smile A Mile (IRE) 13-2 (9-8) With leader, ridden and every chance 2f out, weakened just over 1f out, last of 5, 10 1/4l behind Bless Him (9-12) at Yarmouth 1m hcp (3) fm in Aug.
Irreverent 7-1 (8-8) Towards rear, pushed along over 3f out, ridden chasing leaders 2f out, one pace in 6th and no impression inside final furlong, 6th of 8, 3 1/2l behind Ibraz (9-5) at Ripon 1m hcp (2) gd in Aug.
Jupiter Road 16-1 (8-11) Always last and never a factor, last of 5, 8 1/2l behind Southern Rock (9-6) at Ripon 1m 2f hcp (3) gd in Aug.
I'lletyougonow 7-1 (9-6) Overall leader centre, ridden and headed over 1f out, weakened final furlong, 8th of 11, 8 1/4l behind Amorously (9-4) at Chepstow 1m hcp fll (5) gd in Aug.
Hot Team (IRE) 66-1 (8-13) Chased leaders near side, ridden over 3f out, struggling after, weakened over 1f out, eased, 27th of 28, 25 1/4l behind Biometric (8-8) at Ascot 1m hcp stks (2) gs in Jun.
Boston George (IRE) 16-1 (8-5) Held up towards rear, headway between horses over 1f out, 6th of 16, 3 1/2l behind Pogo (9-3) at York 1m hcp (2) gf in Aug.
