Verdict

Plenty of these arrive with questions to answer so JUNIOR DES MOTTES is a confident selection to register his third success of the campaign at the expense of Getaway Sam, who ran his best race when sixth at Hereford earlier in the month. Silver Gale looks best of the remainder.

1	Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Fakenham and Plumpton last month and, though turned over at odds on the last twice, he should take some stopping if responding well to the first-time blinkers. 1st Pick 1 Junior Des Mottes (Fr) Jockey: Freddie Keighley Trainer: Nick Scholfield J: Freddie Keighley T: Nick Scholfield	100	-	-	-	66%	Scratched
Analysis Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Fakenham and Plumpton last month and, though turned over at odds on the last twice, he should take some stopping if responding well to the first-time blinkers.
6	Ran his best race over hurdles without suggesting there is much more to come when sixth of 11 in handicap at Hereford 19 days ago. A repeat effort could see him in the money (back markedly up in trip here and first-time cheekpieces applied). 2nd Pick 6 Getaway Sam (Ire) Jockey: Stan Sheppard Trainer: Matt Sheppard J: Stan Sheppard T: Matt Sheppard	77	-	-	-	39%
Analysis Ran his best race over hurdles without suggesting there is much more to come when sixth of 11 in handicap at Hereford 19 days ago. A repeat effort could see him in the money (back markedly up in trip here and first-time cheekpieces applied).
2	Third sole start in point bumpers but hasn't shown much in a bumper/novice hurdles. Possible improver now handicapping over a markedly longer trip. 3rd Pick 2 Silver Gale (Ire) Jockey: Shane Quinlan Trainer: Katy Price J: Shane Quinlan T: Katy Price	71	-	-	-	29%
Analysis Third sole start in point bumpers but hasn't shown much in a bumper/novice hurdles. Possible improver now handicapping over a markedly longer trip.
