Mollycarrsbrekfast is now 9lbs higher than when scoring at Market Rasen in August and, having been well held off similar marks in two starts since then, looks worth taking on with preference for Clearly In Motion ahead of Captains Table. The last mentioned ran better at Bangor last time but that was on a softer surface than today and he may struggle to build on that effort back on faster ground today. Cash 'n Carrots has given little sign for encouragement so far, while Captain O'Neill was well held on his belated return last week and is another probably best left out of calculations. The vote then goes to Clearly In Motion, who has slipped to an attractive mark and is taken to make the journey across the Irish Sea in search of suitable ground worthwhile.
