Verdict

Truckers Highway will no doubt try and make all again as he bids for a four-timer. He's been cleverly placed by John Groucott but has gone up a further 13lb since completing his hat-trick over further at Uttoxeter and it may be worth taking him on today. NAUTICAL TWILIGHT (NAP) only had to be pushed out to open her account over fences at Newcastle at the third time of asking. She's improving with experience and may have too much speed for these. Discay has won three times over hurdles and four times on the Flat and will have been well schooled but Wolf Sword, Engrossing and Oficial Ben have become disappointing.
