Just Georgie has yet to win under Rules but ran his best race so far at Bangor last month, though another 3lb rise hasn’t helped. WHISKEY CHASER was only beaten half-a-length at Newcastle in March. The winner made a winning reappearance at that track last week and Donald McCain’s gelding can also win on his comeback run. Purple Harry made a winning start over fences at Kelso in April but the form was nothing special. Morney Wing, however, is now 6lb lower than when scoring at Plumpton at the start of the year and is one of only two previous course winners in the line-up.
