Senor George went close at Brighton recently and should be in the mix once again. Medieval Bishop scored at Wolverhampton in May but was well beaten over 1m6f last time along with LOVING YOUR WORK. The latter appeared not to last home on that occasion but had ran well at Newbury before that and George Baker's charge gets the nod on that form. Brighton winner Highlife Dancer has struggled off higher marks since but Kirtling has scope for improvement back on the Flat after a couple of spins over hurdles of late.
