      Verdict

      The progressive GO GEORGE GO completed a course and distance treble when beating Henpecked six lengths with Summer Collection further behind. He has a further 9lb hike to contend with here but hasn’t stopped improving yet judged on his latest success. Henpecked has the beating of Woodacre on earlier running while Bamako Du Chatelet ended last year with a win at Lingfield and is preferred to the returning Rock A Doodle Doo.
