Motawaazy carries 5lb extra as he bids for a hat-trick but has the beating of Singe Anglais on earlier running at Carlisle. Blissful Song is also penalised for winning at Catterick last week while Hostelry placed over 7f yet again when third at Newcastle and drops down in trip. NEARLY A GONNA (NAP) took advantage of a slide down the weights when fitted with a visor at Nottingham last time and returned an easy four-length winner. He looks worth sticking with given Ella McCain’s 5lb allowance reduces a rise in the weights.
