Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| CD

7/4

Won 4-runner race over C&D in November and added another small-field course handicap (22.5f) 12 days ago, seeing off the reopposing Koi Dodville by 4½ lengths. Likely to give another good account.

Form: P31B21

Hiway One O Three⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 103| D

8/11

Rattled off a quick hat-trick over hurdles last spring. Came good at the third time of asking over fences when pulling 14 lengths clear at Market Rasen a week ago. Last season's exploits show he can take races in quick succession. Leading claims under 7 lb penalty.

Form: 111-431

Koi Dodville^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104

7/1

Showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up on his first 2 starts in July and back from some lesser efforts when second over 22.5f here 12 days ago, albeit he was no real match for the reopposing winner Flann.

Forecasts

Hiway One O Three (8/11), Flann (7/4), Koi Dodville (7/1), Captain Cuckoo (33/1)

HIWAY ONE O THREE had a fair bit in hand at Market Rasen last week and looks good to follow up under a penalty, most likely at the expense of dual course scorer Flann.
