MOTIRANI appreciated the step up in distance when scoring over the extended two miles at Wolverhampton last time. He beat Brabazon on that occasion with Dubai Phantom and Soundbyte further behind. With scope for further improvement over today's trip, Jeff Pearce's charge is fancied to follow-up here. Private Equity returned a fresh horse over 1m6f at Wolverhampton recently and could figure if settling better, while Screaming Brave is not without a chance back on the level after a spell over hurdles.
