The selection in the final race is the Micky Hammond trained George The Best, a course and distance winner here a week ago and has the credentials to go on improving and take this contest this evening. Taboor is a danger ,trained by Robert Cowell and ridden by Robert Winston, finished a good second to Circuit Dancer at Catterick in April and could make an impact. Angelofthenorth needs to show some improved form in order to take a hand in the finish in this competitive affair,he has already run three times this season. Geojimale though,trained by Jim Goldie can bounce back to form after a disappointing run at Ayr last time behind Indian Spark. The selection is George The Best to carry on improving and take the finale.
