LORD GEORGE is a consistent sort and there should be more to come this year. There was plenty to like about his third placed effort at Newcastle on return and he gets the services of the talented young apprentice George Wood here, well worth his 5lb claim. William Knight is double handed and Jacob Cats has been in the form of his life in recent times and he could be the trainer's best chance of a winner. Mohatem looks the main danger to the selection after his easy win at Yarmouth last time.
