Georgebernardshaw, who once won a Listed race for Aidan O'Brien, has been running so poorly that even the application of blinkers offers little encouragement. Unlimited usually runs well here, though generally over 7f, and Faithful Ruler won a similar race over that trip here in November. Lady Elsie appears to need further but this won't take much winning and she has a little bit of scope though this can go to AUTUMN BLADES, a once useful performer who has shown reasonable form since transferring to Ruth Carr and will be happier back here after a couple of runs at Southwell.
