      Verdict

      DASHING GEORGE has been running well without success in higher grade contests and looks to have a leading chance on the back of a three-length defeat at Sandown by State Benefit. Father Shine won at Musselburgh before a spin on the all-weather but is 10lb higher today. Eyre Apparent has run well either side of being pulled up at Uttoxeter and Billy Cuckoo is holding his form and went in again at Sedgefield last time having won over C&D in November but Qualitee is struggling and is harder to fancy.
