This should be all about the top two in the betting. Holy Motivation was disappointing on his hurdle debut and is dropped back in trip, but that is not certain to suit so preference is for CHEAP AND CHEERFUL. He has improved in each of his three outings so far, wasn’t that far away in a similar event at Limerick, and won’t need to find much more to take this. Of the rest, Go Complain and Absentee have both looked poor so far and Superefficient has yet to make the frame in ten attempts.
