Gary Moore has a good record in this contest and his NATURALLY HIGH, useful on the level in France, looks the one to beat after easily opening his hurdling account at Lingfield. Fellow ex-French recruit Happy And Fine appeals as the one to give him most to do starting out in handicaps off a good mark. City Derby and Colden's Dream both figure on the shortlist too in an interesting handicap.
