        Verdict

        George Villiers was racing on the surface for the first time when coming with a late run to catch Pillar Of Society over the course and distance earlier this month with Daffg, who had every chance, in third. The race was run at breakneck pace and is likely to be again so the result should be confirmed. However, THEGREATCOLLECTION has been racing in much better company and the assessor has given him a real chance by dropping him 3lb from his latest efforts in Carnival handicaps and he looks the one to be on. Roy Orbison hasn't run since landing a course and distance maiden in November while Albernathy is held by Pillar Of Society on an earlier run. The latter's yard also run Zaajer but he is another returning from a lay-off having won a Brighton handicap for Owen Burrows in October.
