Competitive fare with FIFTY SHADES the choice in receipt of weight all round. Shrewdly placed to land two of his last three starts, he may prove better than the bare form as he seems only to do enough. Consequently, he's not harshly treated by the assessor and can go well in a better race. Moss On The Mill looks best of the George duo and rates a threat having tumbled to a workable mark. He was improved last time and will handle trip and ground. Jack Snipe is worthy of inclusion on any shortlist as his last two victories have come over course and distance although a 7lb rise for winning an ordinary race here last time by 5l seems harsh. Another course and distance scorer, Charlie Mon, is also of interest off an appealing mark and a much-improved effort last time behind Exxaro at Uttoxeter.
