Very few of these have been in any kind of form but that certainly doesn't apply to DIXIE HIGHWAY (NAP). Pat Flynn's five-year-old has improved out of all recognition to complete a double over hurdles and is back on the level on the mark of a plater so should be up to gaining his first success. Buonarotti Boy has also been in good form over timber having won at Kilbeggan earlier this month and it will be a surprise if he's not better than a 60-rated handicapper on the Flat. Byron Beauty has yet to win in 22 starts but has finished runner-up in three of her last four runs and can't get much lower in the ratings. Phoenix Twist ran well over 1m5f on soft ground at Leopardstown and looks best of the remainder.
