Iain Jardine saddles a couple of horses returning from lengthy absences (Magistral and Thorntoun Care) who should be noted for any market confidence, but this looks the ideal opportunity for GO GEORGE GO to notch a five timer over C&D. Whilst his winning run looked likely to come to an end after his last success, his trainer has found him another good opportunity, and in a moderate race, it is worth going to the well one more time. 1. Go George Go 2. Medicine Hat 3. Taopix
