        Verdict

        MALAK DES MOTTES makes his debut for Alan King carrying a penalty for his victory at Auteuil in November. But the grey has the potential to be a lot better than this bunch and is likely to be sent off at short odds. Take Two, a five times winner on the Flat, has been placed three times on the all-weather since the turn of the year and has place claims if translating that form to this sphere. Eco Warrior won up to 1m4f on the level but hasn't raced since May and faces hurdles for the first time today while the four-year-old Hoy Hoy may have stamina issues having never raced beyond a mile previously.
