Derryhassen Paddy (2/1), Excello (11/4), Clondaw General (7/2), Honky Tonk Highway (5/1), Dameofthecotswolds (8/1)

Verdict

An interesting novice and cases can be made for all 5. HONKY TONK HIGHWAY has looked a stayer in the making so it's reasonable to assume she'll improve plenty for the marked step up in trip and can take her hurdles record to 2 wins from 3 starts. Dameofthecotswolds has developed into a most likeable sort this season and is very much respected on her first try at 3m, while Clondaw General remains with obvious potential.
