Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: B R Millman| OR: 80

5/2

Beaten a neck in a 1m handicap at Goodwood (good) in June but struggled on heavy going over the same trip at Haydock last time out. Interesting contender with a visor tried for the first time.

Form: 745-028

Motfael²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: Owen Burrows

4/6

Good efforts in two 7f novice events so far most recently when 1L third on the AW at Chelmsford earlier this month. Likely to appreciate this step up in distance.

Form: 43

Penrhos⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Hills| OR: 70

7/2

Finished third over 7f at Newbury on first two starts but has disappointed twice subsequently including over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-soft) on handicap debut in June. Of interest on return from a break.

Form: 3-385

(3)

Wings Of Dubai^p1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed

11/1

Unraced daughter of Dark Angel purchased for 35,000 gns as a yearling. Dam won three times over 7f and market support would be notable with cheekpieces worn on debut.

Motfael (4/6), Hawridge Storm (5/2), Penrhos (7/2), Wings Of Dubai (11/1)

MOTFAEL has performed well on both previous starts and he can break his maiden with victory in this novice event. The selection can get the better of Hawridge Storm who ran well in handicap company on his penultimate start while third place can go to Penrhos who has placed in novice company in the past.
