Motawaazy completed a hat-trick with last month’s course and distance success while course specialist Mr Orange also scored here last time. Dark Defender was successful over track and trip in between poor efforts elsewhere while Fauvette won easily at Yarmouth, though is 5lb higher. Captain Jameson ended a long losing run with a victory at Ayr while Nearly A Gonna was narrowly beaten at Ripon last week. But the latter could only manage fourth behind PENNY POT LANE (NAP) in last year’s renewal on soft ground and a bold bid is expected from Simon Whitaker’s mare now back on the same mark.
