Moorlands Jack is a likeable old campaigner, and he should have the measure of Third Act based upon their clash at Newton Abbot last month. That race has worked out well with the third placed Jonagold and the sixth placed Orchestrated both winners since, whilst the fifth placed horse Between The Waters went close at Sedgefield. A 9lb rise is probably fair enough, but it might just prove a couple of pounds too much in terms of his winning chances. Similar comments apply with regards the much respected top-weight Barton Rose, so a sporting chance is taken at much better odds on SEVEN KINGDOMS. He isn't the finished article over fences, but his April C&D success appears solid enough form, and he should handle any further rainfall which may arrive prior to racing.
