Motaraabet hinted at ability on the Fat when trained by Owen Burrows. He was fourth at Musselburgh on his hurdling debut and may have needed the run at Market Rasen earlier this month. Tango Echo Charlie is sure to be popular having chased home an odds-on chance at Stratford but there may be more to come from Southwell runner-up LIFFEYDALE DREAMER as the first two in that race pulled well clear of a well-backed favourite. Taking Flight hasn’t raced since pulled up at Hexham in December but has had wind surgery since.
