GORGEOUS GENERAL (NAP) has strong claims having won three of his last four starts including a couple on the Fibresand. He escapes a penalty having won an apprentices’ race here last week and can go in again. Geography Teacher has won both starts on this surface but over the 6f trip and has been raised 4lb for his latest success when Champagne Mondays finished runner-up but Twentysvnthlancers was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fourth over track and trip in November. Kyllukey’s long losing run continues and Novabridge has plenty to find with the selection.
