Verdict
None of these arrive in good form but Stratford winner MOORLANDS GEORGE has decent claims if forgiven a poor effort at Newton Abbot last time. He went close at the same track off a similar mark to today before that. Mission Complete has slipped down the weights since finishing second at Bangor in May but Cross To Boston remains 8lb higher than his victory at Hexham back in March. Urban Gale separated a couple of woeful efforts with a win at Cartmel and Kilcascan was placed off similar marks on fast ground during the summer.
