Given the paucity of in-form or well handicapped rivals it would be no surprise seeing HOLY MOTIVATION landing her hat-trick given she is not badly treated and obviously in fine heart. Theatre World showed last time he is a capable sort and given he is still relatively lightly raced over hurdles, could be open to more improvement. Owl Creek Bridge warmed up for this contest with a pleasing run recently at Listowel and any market support would suggest connections feel he is ready to win another race.
