Verdict

This is less taxing than the Grade 3 handicap BASHFUL BOY contested at Haydock last time and he is taken to open his account for David Pipe at the fifth time of asking. Highway Companion has to enter calculations on the back of his clear-cut Perth victory, but a bigger threat is likely to be posed by the lightly-raced Gipsy de Choisel, who did the job well at Warwick 16 days ago.
