      Verdict

      George William's best effort last year was a placed effort at Haydock and he debuts on the all-weather off a mark of 76. But MOUEENN is expected to improve for his recent third at Southwell and gets the vote representing Roger Varian's in-form yard. The remainder with experience are harder to fancy on what little they have shown so far and the four-year-old Critical Speed is giving weight to the younger horses on her belated racecourse debut.
