Verdict

Tom George has a healthy 22% strike-rate here so a chance is taken on his WHAT A STEAL who showed promise at the start of his career and rates a potential improver now handicapping under Brian Hughes. Maillot Blanc ran a solid race at Kelso last month and is also on the shortlist, along with recent Newcastle scorer Chumlee and Nigel Hawke's Watchoutitscookie.
