FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GALAVANTING GEORGE shaped well in a couple of maidens and ran creditably behind a pair of in-form rivals when placed on handicap debut at Fairyhouse. The five-year-old, in common with his four winning siblings, handles testing conditions and Gavin Cromwell's yard seems to be returning to form. Mon Sheriffe, placed at Navan on his penultimate start, was too keen before dropping away at Naas last time and a hood may help him to settle better. Paradise Lost was beaten less than two lengths when fifth at Punchestown, while locally-trained veteran Rebel Gold has run well in two similar contests since reverting to this discipline off his lower hurdles mark and has place claims again
