Verdict

Moorlands George wasn't beaten far over course and distance last month and is only a pound higher. But it's significant that connections of CONAS TAOI, who was only a further three lengths away in fourth, are keen to renew hostilities. Sean Bowen has the ride of the Worcester winner this afternoon and he could reverse the placings and take this. The Wee Midget looks vulnerable again off this mark but Distracted ran well here on his UK debut and looks the pick of his yard's two entries with Ciaran Gethings taking off 3lb.
