After a run on the Flat, MOTAZZEN has shown improved form back over hurdles on his last 3 starts, sticking to his task well when making it back-to-back wins at Fontwell 6 days ago, so he looks to hold leading claims without a penalty for his recent success. Nedzor is feared most after his promising handicap debut last time, ahead of Soldier's Leap.
