Formscan - Storming George shouldn't be judged too harshly on his latest seventh in a Grade 2 at Kempton and better is expected reverting to handicap company. However, GRAND VENDETTA got the better of a subsequent winner when opening his account at Taunton and an initial mark of 120 could prove to be lenient. Hereford scorer Glancing Jack and easy Doncaster winner Diamond Koda are others of interest in an open event.
