Very slowly away, detached until 6f out, still last and ridden over 3f out, plugged on final furlong, went 2nd final 75 yards, no chance with winner op 3/1 tchd 7/2
Took keen hold, soon tracking leader, led briefly over 3f out, not much room 2f out, veered left, then hung left and weakened op 10/1 tchd 9/1 and tchd 12/1
MOTFAEL has performed well on both previous starts and he can break his maiden with victory in this novice event. The selection can get the better of Hawridge Storm who ran well in handicap company on his penultimate start while third place can go to Penrhos who has placed in novice company in the past.
