MOTAHASSEN was no match for the progressive Arabian King when runner-up over track and trip last time but finished well clear of the rest. He may prove good enough on this occasion. Pumblechook’s best recent effort came over 2m here while Bolt N Brown won over hurdles when last in action and was also placed over 2m at this venue before that. Mr Carbonator has past form at the track and posted a better effort at Wolverhampton last time while Adams Park slips further down the weights as he debuts on the surface.
