Verdict

JUPITER DES MOTTES was still in contention when badly hampered at the second last on his first start after rejoining Nicky Richards at Haydock last time and a chance is taken that he'll build on that effort here. Ballin Bay has been in fine form over both hurdles and fences of late and looks the biggest danger despite a career-high mark, with Cooler Than Me also worth considering upped in both trip and grade.
