MOTHILL is a reliable type, gaining his third success over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June, and after a couple of creditable efforts on the Flat he can add to his tally back in this sphere. The 5-y-o is taken to get the better of Heartbreak Kid, who is respected from his lower mark back over hurdles, with Golfe Clair also considered.
