Verdict
The Motivator filly Motion Picture wouldn't need to be anything special to make a winning debut. Rio Falls was only beaten a neck in a similar contest at Lingfield last month while Princess Peach also found only one too good at Catterick. Kokovoko was placed twice last year but Vivre La Reve ended up over 5f last year and may struggle for stamina. EL TEL was slowly away and then hampered when making his debut at Newbury. He never figured but this is a much easier task and he'll know more today so could be worth an interest.
