The last four winners of this have all been among the top two in the handicap but Time Is Tickin was beaten in a novices' hunter chase over track and trip last month while Ready Token has yet to prove he stays this far. Born To Succeed may do better now his attention is switched to fences but MOORLANDS GEORGE already has the form in the book with the second, Thinger Licht, having franked the form of his Warwick victory. A follow up here seems likely even though he has to give 5lb to Plumpton scorer Ya Hafed, who has the beating of What's For Tea.
