Verdict

A few with chances but GEORGI GIRL signalled she's ready to add to her debut success when a very good runner-up at Wincanton on Boxing Day and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Nashville Nipper returned from a 22-month absence with an encouraging Fontwell second and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Him Malaya and Macanogue.

  1. GEORGI GIRL (IRE)
