Pace sure to be genuine from Under The Limit and Ships Ahoy matching motors followed by Moktaffy. MOKTAFFY (2) deserved the CL3 win and he placed following heavily supported. Huxtable stays aboard and he can bounce back. Stablemate SHIPS AHOY (6) found his best form winning the 58 and tumbles in weight in this grade. Has been freshened and may go on with it now. UNDER THE LIMIT (4) has been shy of his peaks but they would see him right in it. Uses the rail and has to be kept onside. BABY GUINNESS (5) was quickly back on track at Home Hill and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Moktaffy.
