Verdict

AUGUST GEORGE belied his odds when a close runner-up on debut at Newmarket 2 weeks ago. That's usually a race worth following and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to get off the mark. Saxophonist shaped encouragingly on debut at Newcastle over 7f and should improve for the step up for to 1m, while Frankel colt Mr Colonel appeals most of the newcomers.
