This is a race that will not take much winning and a chance is taken with GEORGIESHORE who came good around this time last season in similar grade. He ran well enough in better company last time to suggest he is approaching his peak and he can account for Goonjim who ran well at Bangor last time when failing to land a gamble. He takes a drop in trip here which will help his bid to recover losses. Chance Taken is one paced but this track has brought the best out of her in the past and she should be involved again. 1.
