Verdict

The speed with which the connections of HIGHWAY COMPANION switch him to handicaps may be a telling sign especially as he steps up to a more suitable trip that the 2m he was tried over here last time. Toi Story another handicap newcomer should also make his mark although the fact the fact that he hasn’t run since March may just be against him in the prevailing testing conditions. Bally Conor another one stepping in handicaps for the first time needs watching in the market while Hitman Fred has potential in this sphere coming from a yard who had a torrid time last season but are starting to blossom again. Paper Roses and Spirit Of Kayf two others to consider in an open contest.
  1. Highway Companion
  2. Hitman Fred
  3. Paper Roses
