Formscan  - MILITARY CROSS was no slouch on the level and made a pleasing start to life over hurdles when second at Cartmel back in May. Given time to get over those exertions and with the experience under his belt, Sam England's gelding is expected to take the necessary step forward. John Galt shares a similar profile and must be respected, while returning bumper winner Arms Park is also noted.
