SIR GEOFFREY scored on the Fibresand at Southwell a week ago but is a course and distance winner. He escapes a penalty having won an apprentices race and can follow-up. Major Muscari, Divertimenti, Your Gifted and Robyn all have plenty to find with the selection on latest running and Time Medicean has yet to be placed on the all-weather hence today's much lower mark. College Doll won for the first time in 15 starts when successful here last time and will do well to go in again upped 7lb in the weights.
