GEORDIELAD left his previous form behind when returning a shock 25/1 winner at Chelmsford last month on his first start since June. There should be more to come from him over today’s trip and he’s preferred to Lady Makfi. The latter beat the re-opposing Betancourt by a head over 2m here last time and the latter had previously won over the same distance. Knight Commander is another dropping down in trip having been beaten less than a length at Lingfield but Wally's Wisdom is preferred on a recent fourth over course and distance.
