Having run out an emphatic winner on chase debut at Southwell, MARTA DES MOTTES emerged with plenty of credit when runner-up in a much deeper race at Chepstow 3 weeks ago, finding only an unexposed sort too strong. She earns the vote to prove her mark a workable one now stepping back up in trip, with easy Warwick scorer Hawthorn Cottage and Gazette Bourgeoise others to consider. Electric Annie isn't dismissed lightly either.
