George can take the Fastlane to another Valley front-running win

FASTLANE GEORGE has suffered defeat the last twice after a winning run of five but has continued to perform well all the same and is the one to beat in Valley's 460m open at 6.29.

Donna Davy's dog is generally catch-me-if-you can over four bends and is expected to call the shots once again.

That being the case, he could be clear by halfway and have enough credit in the bank in terms of lead to ensure victory.

Other open fancies at Valley are Shaun Chappell's Glengar Isla (7.04), Adrian Rawlings' Ashway Blastoff (7.24), Christian Darch's Crokers Andrew (7.42) and Craig Marston's Whisky N Coke (8.52).

First meeting under way is an afternoon fixture at Limerick at which Joe Shanahan's Long Lasting (4.18) and Francine Jestin's French Indigo (4.56) appeal, while Beatrice Steiner's Beebolt Daisy (7.51) and Kiel Dempsey's Bobby Bay (8.26) are evening Irish picks at Mullingar.
