Cotton on George will race in the $20,000 USMG Light Horseman Maiden Plate (1100 metres) at 12.10pm and will look to return from his spell in good touch as the four-year-old gelding hasn't race since December 2019 at Bathurst.
Matthew Cahill will ride him for the first time and will look to fight off the likes of Greg Ryan who will be on the back of Clint Ludholm's Poetic Harmony who's claimed back-to-back third placings since returning from a break.

Krissy Krystyna will come out second for Smith at 12.45pm in the $20,000 USMG Rising Sun Maiden Plate (1100 metres). The four-year-old mare's also coming off a spell for Smith and has only raced once in the last 12 months.
Smith's most decorated horse competing at Narromine will see action in race six as Supreme Gem will battle it out for the $20,000 USMG Kokoda Trail Benchmark 50 Handicap (1300 metres).
She'll look to re-capture the 2018 form that saw her capture a pair of wins in back-to-back starts at Orange in December but will need to shake off some scratchy form as she hasn't earned a placing since that hot month at Towac Park over a year ago.

Adrian Layt will ride Fanny Chenal in the $20,000 Dubbo Equine Hospital Benchmark 50 Handicap (1300 metres) and she to will be looking to find some form as the seven-year-old mare's gone 366 days since securing a win at Cessnock on April 25 2019.
Smith took over the training duties for Fanny Chenal not long after that win at Cessnock as she was previously mentored by Damien Lane.
Monday's event at Narromine is a nine-race slate with all events being worth $20,000. Race one is at 12pm with the last contest at 4.55pm.
