Max Guevara was beaten in a Leicester seller last time but at least showed his liking for heavy ground. Born To Reason won a seller here in August but that was on fast ground as it was when he finished second to easy winner Ramatuelle in another seller here last month. The winner has changed stables and is 8lb higher while Creative Talent was beaten a long way in that latter event and though that wasn't his form he's better on quicker ground. HIGHWAY ONE has never won in 18 outings but this seems a good place to start. He wasn't in bad form last winter and was having his first run since April when leading for most of the way over this trip at Bath last month.
