Veteran MOORLANDS JACK loves it here and goes well fresh. He has won off a higher mark in the past and can score for a fourth time on the track ahead As You Like, who was beaten off a 4lb lower mark when chasing a hat-trick here last month. Candy Burg won twice over fences in France and tackles the larger obstacles for the first time in this country while Mille Nautique will have needed his run over hurdles at Market Rasen last month. Butlergrove King will probably need the outing, his first since June last year.
