Formscan  - LUNAR CHIEF might have flashed his tail en route to winning a Newcastle bumper in March but still created the impression that he has a bright future ahead. The five-year-old won that race a shade cosily and is likely to improve further now that obstacles are in the way. Similar comments apply to Coniston George, who landed an Ayr bumper on his penultimate start despite running green on the day. Tara Cove, a noteworthy recruit form the point-to-point scene, completes the shortlist.
