GEORGE THISBY is only a pound higher than when winning this last year. Daniel Muscutt takes off 5lb and a repeat is on the cards for the six-year-old, who runs his best races here. Beau Duke has rather lost his way lately but would figure if back to his best and Tidal's Baby was an improved third at Chepstow last month and doesn't look badly treated at present. Both The Name is Frank and Netley Marsh are course winners so can't be discounted but it's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
