Verdict

It usually pays to stick with a filly on the upgrade and DANCE FOR GEORGIE is just that. She's up 9lb as she bids for hat-trick but won by four lengths eased down at Brighton last time and can go in again. Ingleby Angel opened her account at Redcar last week but that was over 6f and Giorgio's Dragon makes more appeal after a second over 7f at Ayr. Saffa Hill is harder to fancy dropping down in distance but Rodean has a shout dropped in class having slipped down the weights.
