Verdict

MOT A MOT (NAP) made a winning start over hurdles at Worcester and probably has the scope to go on to better things. Second twice in bumpers at Taunton in March, American Gerry was disappointing on his reappearance at Newbury but might do better over timber. Hermes Boy would have a chance on his second at Worcester behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner but he then failed to land the odds at Bangor. Atakan has shown some ability and newcomer Dubrovnik Harry is also worth a market check being a half-brother to Flat and hurdles winner Knockmaole Boy.
