JUNIOR DES MOTTES has been transformed since joining Nick Schofield and is hard to side against under a penalty unless his recent exploits at Market Rasen have caught up with him. In-form C&D scorer East Eagle could emerge as the chief threat, although handicap debutants Workhardplayhard and Beep Beep Becky appeal as likely improvers and could also have a say.
