Formscan - The combination of a 7lb penalty and quicker ground conditions may have contributed to JUNIOR DES MOTTES' failed hat-trick bid at Catterick and this looks a suitable opportunity for the seven-year-old to get back on the scoresheet. Betgoodwin displayed some ability when filling the runner-up spot over C&D, although he was beaten 31 lengths. Chris Gordon's charge is still feared most, with Amalfi Skyline the pick of the remainder.
