Verdict

An uninspiring handicap and a good opportunity for JUNIOR DES MOTTES to resume winning ways. It wouldn't be a surprise to see more from Betgoodwin, who clearly wasn't the stable's leading hope on handicap debut here last time.

1	Revitalised by new yard, readily winning back-to-back handicaps at Fakenham/Plumpton but perhaps found the quick turnaround against him when third under a penalty at Catterick. That was only 9 days ago but a return to something like his winning form should be enough to take this. 1st Pick 1 Junior Des Mottes (Fr) Jockey: Jay Tidball Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: Jay Tidball T: Nick Scholfield	100	-	-	-	67%

2	Little impact in a maiden/couple of warm novices and was sent off at 16/1 when hollow second on handicap bow over C&D, his well-backed stablemate unseating early in the contest. Has been found a very weak race, though. 2nd Pick 2 Betgoodwin (Fr) Jockey: Tom Cannon Trainer: Chris Gordon J: Tom Cannon T: Chris Gordon	86	-	-	-	25%

5	Featured much more prominently in the betting but fared little better on second handicap start, well held fourth of 6 at Hereford (21.7f, soft) 31 days ago. Clearly thought capable of making an impact at a lowly level. 3rd Pick 5 Dawn's Desire (Ire) Jockey: Harry Kimber Trainer: Robert Walford J: Harry Kimber T: Robert Walford	86	-	-	-	20%
