Verdict
LORD GEORGE won last year’s inaugural running. He remains 8lb higher but ran well off a similar mark behind Watersmeet over track and trip in November and should be in the mix at the finish once again. Cosmelli was well beaten in last year’s renewal but subsequently won a consolation race for the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle while Amade has been winning on the all-weather tracks in France and finished in front of Cayirli when scoring at Deauville in November. Addicted To You has failed to complete either start since winning over 2m at Chelmsford last May while Count Calabash, a winner over 1m4f, attempts this longer trip for the first time though can figure if lasting home.
