Going - Hurdle/Bumper: Heavy, soft in places. Chase: Heavy. Fine

Formscan By 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

Quotes on Rebel Gold (IRE)

he has been very hard to place. The handicapper hasn't relented with him because he is so consistent and he wouldn't stay a yard further than this (2m3f 100yds). The Newlands Chase at Naas had again been the main goal for him and the conditions and everything were spot on, but the chases were abandoned that day. We then had to go to the Shamrock Chase at Gowran, which didn't suit as he was giving away 20lb to the winner who is a seven-year-old. we might consider the Devenish Chase for him at Fairyhouse on Irish National day, they might get a small field for it. It's only 17 days away and he had a hard race today, so we'll see how he is. We'll do very little with him now but he's not going to Punchestown to run in a two-mile handicap, where he'd have top-weight.

He didn’t run well the last day (beat only one home at Punchestown) and I put it down to the ground but he did get lit up at the start. There was a false start the last day and it threw him altogether.
