Verdict

PAPAL MOTEL has finished runner-up on his last two outings over hurdles and can go two better than when finishing third on the Flat here earlier this week by taking the opening contest here. The selection handles softer surfaces and make a winning handicap debut at the chief expense of the four-year-old Treasure Chest who is another handicap debutant having disappointed over 2m6f last time out. Baron Von Chill who was in the process of running well prior to unseating last time can take third if getting a run as first reserve here.
  1. Papal Motel
