CONSISTON GEORGE was a shade disappointing on his final run in bumpers, but it possibly came too soon and he remains a good hurdle prospect who should be up to winning a race of this nature. Lunar Chief is another interesting newcomer to this sphere having made a successful bumper debut at Newcastle back in March, with multiple point winner Tara Cove also feared.
