BIPLANE has been knocking on the door lately and might be able to get her head back in front. Highland Olly was a few places behind the selection at Doncaster last time but will be a threat if recapturing the form he showed when second over 6f there prior to that. Recent C&D scorer Sound of Iona also merits respect.
