Verdict

Going beyond 3m promises to suit GEORGES SAINT judged on his latest third over that trip at Warwick where he rallied well in the closing stages. He is lurking on an attractive mark and is taken to see off Minella Blueway and Shantou Lucky.

3	Won a pair of handicap chases at the end of 2023. Hasn't managed to scale the same heights since but his mark has reduced to what is now an attractive level and he's of strong interest here on the back of a creditable third at Warwick (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve. 1st Pick 3 Georges Saint (Fr) Jockey: Charlie Deutsch Trainer: Venetia Williams J: Charlie Deutsch T: Venetia Williams	99	-	-	-	39%

1	Benefited from application of cheekpieces when ending last term with wins at Ludlow and Uttoxeter. Has failed to complete on 2 of his 3 starts this season, falling at the first at Ascot recently, but he'll have a big chance eased in grade here, provided that his jumping passes the test. 2nd Pick 1 Minella Blueway (Ire) Jockey: Isabel Williams Trainer: Evan Williams J: Isabel Williams T: Evan Williams	100	-	-	-	20%

2	Five wins since joining the prolific James Owen yard at the end of the summer, including over this C&D in November. Went close off this mark at Fakenham on penultimate start and probably best to forgive Windsor flop 11 days later, as the race probably came too soon. Player with visor refitted. 3rd Pick 2 Shantou Lucky (Ire) Jockey: Nathan Howie Trainer: James Owen J: Nathan Howie T: James Owen	98	-	-	-	23%
