4/11

Order of St George filly. Half-sister to 2¼m bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Green Glory, stays 2¾m. Showed plenty when third in a big-field bumper at Cork in May for Margaret Mullins. Repeat of that will see her hard to beat for new yard.

Forecasts

Georgia's Charm (4/11), Honour High (10/3), Mustamento (18/1), Lady Buttercup (22/1), County Royal (28/1), Pleniflora (66/1), Glen Affric (100/1)

GEORGIA'S CHARM made a promising debut when third of 17 at Cork in May and having transferred to another good yard, she'll take some stopping. Newcomer Honour High may offer most resistance.
