Mission Complete unseated after a blunder over these fences in the race won by Urban Gale last month. The runner-up Kilcascan re-opposes on better terms today but CHEAT THE CHEATER makes more appeal. Claire Dyson's charge ended a long losing run when scoring at Lingfield recently and Conor Shoemark's allowance reduces a hike in the weights. The Last Bridge was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up here back in March with Dixie Bull third and has to race off the same mark today while Exmoor Challenge finished ahead of Cara Court when placed on fast ground at Doncaster last month.
