Verdict

HARRY GEORGE is penalised for winning at Redcar but returned a clear winner on that occasion and can confirm running with both Fox Kasper and Tiercel. Brian Ellison’s charge had earlier finished behind Elusive Heights but the latter disappointed without any apparent excuse when favourite at Leicester last week behind third-placed Aegeus. Jedd O’Keeffe’s charge was beaten less than a length on that occasion and is also preferred to Carey Street and Bahkit.
