MOTCOMB STREET has the form in the book with a fourth in a Doncaster bumper in November and has changed yards since. He makes most appeal of those with racecourse experience but the betting should offer some clues regarding the newcomers. Willie Mullins runs a half-brother to a bumper and hurdles winner in Flying Home while Anytime Now represents Gordon Elliott’s yard. Getaway Rose is another to note along with Backstairs Bounder, who is related to four winners on the Flat.
