    Verdict

    Giorgio arrives here in great heart and can land his third victory of the season, at the expense of Bearaway and Bobosh. The Phillip Hobbs trained six-year-old had a change of tactics last time and it certainly paid with his best performance to date. He skipped round in front to record an emphatic victory over Wild Power, and a follow up win should be on the cards here. Bearaway put in a disappointing effort last time out but had previously worn down Winter Garden over the two mile trip here, and if fit from a three month holiday he should be the main threat to the selection. Bobosh boasts a novice success at Market Rasen in July and should also figure in the finish. Of the others Hartigan is from a top yard and should be noted for any major market move, but Giorgio is the form horse and gets a confident vote
