Verdict

A trappy contest to end proceedings, HOLY MOTIVATION looks to be getting the hang of things now and hails from a yard who usually excel here. His 5lb penalty seems light and he could be one step ahead of the handicapper currently. Metro Boulot Dodo and Touchedbyanangel both possess profiles which leave them dangerously poised to run well without winning, while Farmer Boy could be a dark horse as long as his prolific summer isn't starting to catch up with him.
