DUSTIN DES MOTTES ran well on seasonal debut and he can register a first victory since joining this stable from France by taking this small field handicap chase. Ecu De La Noverie has run well on both starts this campaign and he can register another placed effort by finishing runner-up ahead of Niven who receives weight from all of his rivals and is likely to have improved for last months seasonal reappearance.
