The three-year-olds GEORGE BANCROFT and Rhebus Road are on handy marks and look the pair to concentrate on, with the vote going to the former. He had little chance trying to give weight to subsequent winner Forever Blessed, but he emerged with credit and can make amends for an early exit at Market Rasen. Flamenco de Kerser should be suited by this test of speed and is another to consider.
