Verdict

MOTAWAARED hasn't done much wrong of late and perhaps this is the day he finally gets his head in front. Falcon Nine is another who has been knocking on the door in recent starts and is second choice under Jack Nicholls. Newmarket raider Ghost Story is next on the list.

  1. MOTAWAARED
  2. FALCON NINE
  3. GHOST STORY (IRE)
