In depth
Verdict
Excellent George slips further down the weights but looks no nearer winning while Split Down South is 7lb higher than when scoring over a longer trip here last month. Lalania also has something to prove off her current mark but Suzi's Connoisseur has a shout in this grade and finished in front of Swiss Pride at Lingfield last time. FEN BREEZE made a winning debut over track and trip at this time last year and has placed in both starts since returning from a lay-off. She may be the one to side with in this off her current mark.
